Stay tuned to the end for a chance to win a prize! Whether you’re playing video games, holding a private concert, or just answering questions, live streams are a great way to engage with your audience from home. But it’s easy to overlook how important lighting can be when you go live. Today on 4 Minute Film School, we are going to show you how to light for your livestreams, using both high end lights and more budget-friendly lights. In this video, Matt from the A-Team walks us through what to think about when lighting yourself for a live video. First, he lights the background. This allows him to create more depth in his image, and use color to give a personal touch. Next, he sets up a key light to light his face. For this light he has to keep in mind the space limitations of the place where he’s shooting. The main aspects addressed in this video are soft light, and color. Soft light refers to the quality of light that wraps around the subject’s face and doesn’t create highlights. Creating a soft key light is important because it will end up looking the most flattering on your subject’s face. Color refers to the color of lights in your background. For livestreams, you’re lighting for visual interest, not realism, so you can use color to add personality to your lighting. There’s no excuse for having bad lighting. Even in tight spaces it’s possible to light your subjects in ways that add professionalism and production value to your content. Even if that’s you live streaming while playing the latest video game. Think about what you want to tell your audience through the lighting, and the image you want to create for yourself or your subject.
