Pro Lighting on a Budget: How to Light a Talking Head Shot

What You Will Learn?

• Starting with video production can be tough, but you don't need expensive equipment to create something that looks clean and professional. The best gear is what you have right now..
• In this class, we’ll focus on creating a single static talking head shot, which is an essential shot for your Skillshare classes, Youtube videos, or Documentary films..
• I want to arm you with knowledge so you can use whatever you have available to you to record better videos. Even if all you have is a window and a phone, you can use these techniques to create a great-looking shot..
• You’ll learn about:.
• I’ll show you two scenarios: a complete no-budget setup where we’ll use just our phone, natural light, and things you can find around your house, and another setup with a better camera and a budget light kit that won’t break your bank. .
• This class is aimed at all levels, so it doesn’t matter if you’re a complete beginner or you already have some experience working with a camera and shooting video..
• You can use whatever equipment you have available to you, either a camera or your phone. One thing I would highly recommend is having some way to keep your camera stable. This can be a tripod or you could even prop it up on a table, though a tripod is the safer option..
• By the end of this class, you’ll have a great-looking talking head shot that will fit perfectly in your next project..
