    Tl;dr: Starting point - Use diffusion to make light soft and flattering on the subject (these can also be made DIY) 1 - Flat lighting - the light is position frontal to the subject. Kind of like the on-camera flash (PROS: eliminates shadows and makes face look more beautiful/ CONS - flat light, lacks contrast, boring) 2 - 45 degree side light. Move light left or right to cast a bit of shadow on one part of the face. Adds dimensionality to face. Also called Rembrandt lighting. 3 - Split lighting. Light source is positioned 90 degrees from the front of the subject. This casts half the face in total shadow. Moody, dark, good for narrative. 4 - Top down. Light is positioned above the subject. Again, good for narrative and moody scenes. Something David Fincher uses a lot. 5 - Butterfly. Light is above subject but not top down. It's at an angle, to minimise eye shadow and to cast a butterfly shadow under the nose. Closer to beauty lighting without being completely flat. Do not forget that with any one of these positions you can add bounce. One light does not mean one light. Also, do not be discouraged about the Aputure costing $1K. If you are just starting out, you can create a cheap kit using fluorescent or even incandescent house lights. There are countless DIY light kit tutorials on KZread. Learn the principles, start shooting. Then, when you get more clients, you can start investing, because pro lights enable you to move quick and look professional. Just imagine trying to impress your client with houselights. Doesn't really work. But it gets the job done in the beginning for low budgets. Start shooting!

    Great Videopost! first of all, i must say that i really enjoy watching your posts on this chanel. I learned a lot. I follow a bunch, but this is my favorite.I enjoy when you sometimes show expensive equipment that no normal hobbyshooter could ever buy. But i really love when you talk more about stuff that normal followers also can be able to buy and use. I bought the color correction and grading course, its outstanding. i can really recommend other people here to get that course. Since you are so good at teaching, i have some topics that i would like to see you cover more indepth in the future. How to get good exposure for different situations with flat profile, shoots that are ment to have post colorgrading. i know you did a post about exposure, but you showed equipment like the waveform screen, wich is a bit over my budget right now. Maybe you could show a good approach on how to use the zebras and the histogram for ex slog2? Also now since sony have released api for their apps in camera and now when they aloud mobile apps to connect and work as remote control, it have poped up apps as "field monitor" that do waveforms that can be connected to the sony cameras wireless. The problem is that sony dont aloud you to use the log profiles when connecting via wifi. I dont know if its because they want to protect their log format or something?Maybe there is a way of using wireless apps as waveform monitors and then make a custom profile in the camera that acts as the flat log files?I think these things are topics that sony shooters on a budget want to see. Since you are the master of things, i ask if its possible for you to do posts about these topics in the future.

Is there a difference when i can only film in 1080p because my little camera cant film in 4k. So i cant zoom in in postproduction.
