Lastly, it's important to know that you can adjust the lighting and perfect your lighting when you move in for close-ups, in order to enhance your scene's cinematic depth. When lighting for television dialogue scenes you'll inevitably encounter a variety of scenarios that test your cinematic abilities. You can create a brightly lit, high key scene for a "network comedy" look, such as classic television shows like Friends, Scrubs, or Brooklyn 99. You can also take away a lot of light for a low-key, moody "premium drama" look, like an HBO television show. You can even simply enhance the existing environmental light, for a "natural light" look, like from Ozark or The OA. By learning how to shoot cinematic dialogue scenes, whether by building the entire lighting design in a fully controlled set, or enhancing the natural lighting in a practical environment, you'll be ready for any situation. These techniques don't only apply to television, but also to any kind of cinematography. The skills learned from this episode will allow you to create cinematic depth in everything you shoot.
