Lighting Research & Setup

When setting up my interview, I researched a lot videos and studied various techniques to work out how the lighting will best affect my documentary in the style that I want. As my documentary focusses about the devastation and trauma that can happen to professional footballers in their careers. Because of this I eventually used a fairly dark setting which showed that this is not a happy documentary and that this can be quite dark and distressing memories for these players involved.

When deciding my video I looked at tutorials from professionals that have experienced in setting up photo shoots and studio interviews. The one I mainly looked at was on YouTube by the channel Film Riot.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LTG7ysLNH8 In this video you see various techniques being displayed about how to experiment with lighting which enabled me to do the same.

I mainly learnt about how crucial lighting is and subsequently my documentary will look better because of practice with my lighting. From my 3 attempts at my interview, this was how my lighting turned out.
