Defining Practical Lights

  • Practical lights are any light source that appears to illuminate the set.
  • This can include lamps, but also windows and even daylight itself.
ADVICE

Analyzing a Scene's Lighting

  • When approaching a scene, first identify the primary light source.
  • Consider how this source influences the scene's mood and blocking.
ADVICE

Location Scouting Priorities

  • Prioritize the script and director's vision over lighting during location scouting.
  • Practical lighting considerations can be addressed later in the process.
