LIGHTING
When working with cameras, lighting is incredibly important. You can change the tone of the image depending on the type of lighting used, and how you use it.

The two types of lighting in photography are,
Available light, which are naturally occurring light sources, like the sun or moon.
Artificial light, which are light sources that are created for the purpose of the photo, like torches and lamps.
Production
My first clip will be an interview with Aaron Martin, which will take place over Google Meets using a screen recording software (Open Broadcast Software/OBS). And my personal camera, as well as a microphone to record my own audio.
I was going to use the microphone that came with my computer because it is much higher quality, but I didn't want my microphone to interfere with my facecam. As this was our second take we was able to go through the questions quicker with more depth, allowing me to ask more follow-up questions to add to the doc during post.
I recorded my face with my own camera and a CineStyle colour profile, which washes out all the colours to make colour grading easier.
My final interview was with a classmate named Callum, and it was held in the college's film studio, where I used a black chroma backdrop along with a few light rigs, I positioned one light straight ahead of him on half brightness to give texture to his face and two brighter lights to his opposite sides at around 45 and 15 degrees, respectively, to ensure only Callum was lit up and not the background unnecessarily. This interview took much longer having to book out the room then the equipment and set it all up, and allow us to rehearse the lines a few times before recording our final take.
