Three Point Lighting
TPL adds dimension and the goal of it is to create the illusion of a three dimensioal subject in 2 dimensions.
Key Light - Main light used on the subject
Fill Light - Fills the shadows created by the key light, reventing it from getting too dark
Back Light - Seperates the subject from the background
Whichever wa the subject is facing in the frame, put the key liht on that side of the camera
The thing to be cautious about is to not create a second shadow. The fill light is too powerful if you see a seocnd shadow
Scrims are designed to reduce the lightwihout softening it. Jels are used to reduce light. You dont have to use a seperate light as a fill light.
No need for 3 seperate lights when applying 3 point lighting
