 Freedom today. I want to talk to you about the importance of lighting when it comes to your videos now This is only going to help you if you do vlogs face cams or other Things that require shooting with an actual camera. So all of you gamers who never want to show your face Go ahead and leave the video now Are you gone yet? All right good Lighting is very important lighting can take your videos no matter what camera it's shot on from looking like It was shot on a potato covered in Vaseline to looking like it was done in In the best possible way so I wanted to show you what we're doing for lighting here in the studio But before I do that, I have to go ahead and turn off my background All right, so we have a non traditional three-point lighting system here So if you look right up here, you see we've got one light now This is an LED light that produces little or no heat and we can change the color temperature As much as we want now the color temperature is kind of like a balance between yellows blues and whites If you follow me over here, we have yet another one of those Now just behind me if you'll follow me to the floor We haven't one that goes directly behind me to make sure that there are no shadows on the screen You may also notice that here in the green room that I'm filming this in we have green carpet Now this isn't actually meant to be like green screen green carpet However, it has in a couple of cases saved the day when the camera was shooting a little bit more than what we had planned The lighting there is also important You may have also noticed while we were panning around that we have in this room Curved edges the edges in this room are not sharp and that's because those are really hard to light It's a little bit easier with those rounded edges and that's because of the lighting So this is a non-traditional three-point lighting system So we've got two fill lights and we've got one on the background Another way of doing this would be to have a highlight or or accent light over here to give me a little bit more of a Three-dimensional shape so I don't look so two-dimensional and washed out when I'm keyed out by the green green screen and chroma key So green screening and chroma key is a discussion for another day But I did want to discuss with you the lighting that we're using and some of the other things now if you'd like much more in-depth Information you can check out Freedom Academy Freedom Academy is your one-stop shop for all things when it comes to learning about YouTube digital media content creation Or even filmmaking to some degree I hope that this video has been helpful for you if it has let us know in the comment section down below Till next time don't forget to like subscribe do all those things that make us lower jobs also be awesome to yourself and amazing to each other Thank you for watching another freedom video if you'd like to connect with us on our socials be sure to check out whoa our Facebook whoa, shh our Twitter.
