Source, Reflection, and Shadow
Sometimes you work with source footage that containsstrong lighting and thus offers a clear target. Other times,
it’s up to you to add a strong look. Either way, reference is
your friend. You will be surprised how much bolder and
more fascinating nature’s choices are than your own.
Unexpected surprises that simply “work” can be the kiss
of love for a scene—that something extra that nobody
requested but everyone who is paying attention appreciates.
Details of light and shadow are one area where this
extra effort can really pay off.
Big, bold, daring choices about light can and should
become almost invisible if they are appropriate to a scene,
adding to the dramatic quality of the shot instead of merely
showing off what you as an artist can do.
