Lighting and production work

In the first few shots we have, the lighting didnt really go to plan. We were hoping for light that looks more natural, as it is a documentary on something that needs to be seen naturally, because the subject is about something that it natural to everyone. Although having some artifical light could have helped us, in allowing to see this idea more clearly, without it its difficult for Dopamine to have a spotlight. I visited a website to do some light research that gave me three points to lighting:

1. KEY – The key light is your main and strongest source of light. This can be the sun or an electrical light source.
   
   
2. FILL – This is your second light source, softer than your key light, which crosses the key light to “fill” the strong shadows created by your main light source. This can be a reflector or an electric light.
   
3. BACK – The back light is used to separate the subject from background. It makes the scene look more three-dimensional. Sometimes you can use the “setting sun” as your back light or another light source.

Overall each one helps with what we were trying to get at, something natural to help with the illistration of the natualness' of Dopamine and then an electrical light source that can follow up on the excess light to give it more of a three-dimensonal look.
