lighting quiz

1. key is the main light and strongest lights. can be placed where its seen fit to be but by th book, on one side of the camera typically at a 30degree angle.
fill is opposite of the key light and is secondary, more of a flood. placed further away for some spun.
backlight is placed behind the subject btw.
30 and 45degrees (vertically) for definition and subtle light. not direct. gives a 3 dimensional look. also know as the rim or hair light.

2. you can use those reflectors. if i remember correctly, typically that foam board. you would want to simulate a fill light to soften up the extremes between the strong light from the sun (key light) and the shadows.

3. 180dgree rule and why do we use it...
