Goal – Students will discover the importance of lighting and how to better control the lighting of an environment or the lighting within an environment
What you see is what you get, unless of course you cannot see what you are getting. In video it is easy to make the common mistake of lighting assumption: ‘My eyes can see things well, therefore this will make a great shot.’ A filmmaker must always be aware that no camera has the ability to take in as much information as the human eye. The best that can be done will only be done with assistive lighting and lighting tools.
For this journal entry you will need to write a description of how you would use a 3 light kit or our existing studio lighting to light an interview or a special guest on a talk show. Find an image online to reference with a link or describe the setup in thorough detail. Draw or explain how the lights are positioned and why they are positioned in this way.
Read the article “Light Right – A Crash Course in Lighting Video” (http://www.techlearning.com/shared/printableArticle.php?articleID=12800456) for in depth information on lighting. Search google and youtube for help with lighting as well.

Studio Roles
Goal – Students will develop a sense of what jobs exist in a studio and how many people are required to successfully produce a TV show.
Producing a TV show requires a camera and talent. Producing a quality TV show requires much more. In this course, we often work as a team to deliver a product to recording. The team however, does not split work evenly during each production. During the next unit, you will be asked to try a variety of TV production roles. Each time you try a job, you will have an opportunity to reflect on the difficulty or ease of that job.
In this journal entry, you will gain a perspective of the different roles by reading the module “TV Production: Overview” (http://www.cybercollege.com/tvp001.htm).

- Then write a paragraph explaining which job is most intriguing to you and why.
