3-Point Lighting

The 3 lights that are talked about in the video are the key light, the fill light, and the hair light. The key light is the brightest light on the subject that helps them stand out from the background. The fill light is a softer light that lightens up the darker areas on the subject's face, making them easier to see. The third light is the hair light that comes from behind the subject that makes them pop out from the background more. All of these lights have their own importance because they each do different things to differentiate the subject from the background. If one or more lights are taken away, they can give off a different effect to the viewer. Without knowing what each light does, it'll be harder to create the feeling that you want from your video.
