Interviews and lighting

When recording in the studio, we will use natural lighting from the windows. This is because using the soft boxes with the lights off, will make it more of a photoshoot then a recording of a interview. 

Studio lighting can also make someones face over exposed or the background under exposed. 

Soft boxes are never the best lighting to use when recording someone or even taking photographs of someone. This is because if the person is wearing glasses, sometimes the reflection of the lights are shown in the glasses. 

Therefore, the conclusion to use regular, natural lighting is the better option when recording in the studio. 


When recording on location; 

If outside - There will be no overcast (as overcast is dark and dull. We want our video to be exciting and informative) and there will be no need for artificial lighting. Artificial lighting is genuinely used when taking photographs in the studio. 

If inside - We have to be aware of the lighting within the classrooms or in the offices. This is because when the lights are on, sometimes they can give a yellow tint on the image/video. This is what we want to avoid.
