@delta, the light is coming from the softbox and is purposely directional, so as to not illuminate the whole subject, he shows you what it looks like with the modeling light on. There are several ways you can adjust your camera to keep the background dark, fstop, shutter speed, flash output or exposure compensation.
It was ok, but I would have liked to see more before & after pics as well as some more explanation of exactly why the light acts like it does based on where the model is. It would have made a more enticing marketing promo for your video.
Try shooting outdoor at 1/250 at the most tighter/closed f number and you will see all black. Well, add a flash to the scene and shoot again. If the iumage looks too dimmed, leave the shutter speed and open a bit the diafragm (f number) till you get the needed light (you can also rise the power of the flash). Also, the flash should be pointing to the subject and you will get some kind of hard contrast and the foreground (sunny day) will keep black. It will work better in shadows :)
that music is so awful, it's like an 80s nightmare. i couldnt possibly watch all this video even though i really want to

I'd tap that... switch on the light to get an excellent portrait. ;)
