Basic Lighting for Audiovisual Projects

You will start by getting to know Enrique and doing a brief tour of his professional career. You will know references and relevant authors related to the light in the world of direction, photography and painting, that Enrique has served to improve his work.

Then you will prepare your project, understanding the important aspects that must be taken into account on light, color and space, and then create a dossier or style book that will define the look of the project.

You will learn basic lighting concepts, starting with the choice of space and its attributes, and the narrative language of your camera's optics. Then you will learn about the types of light, its direction, the contrast between two lights, to end with the classic scheme of three lights for an interview.

Once you have learned the classics, you will have the opportunity to break with the schemes to create your own style experimenting with different planes, lights and optics. You will also learn to work light in an outdoor setting, and in a space that you previously have no reference to before tackling it.

Finally, you will learn some keys and postproduction tips to achieve an academically correct grading.
