Topic: Lighting PositioningI only have two lamps what is the best arangement for evened lighting for good quality. I use a square base plate. If that helps. Please respond and help, It would be much appreicated.
Thanks for your time.
What I do is aim the two lights at each other.
If you have good lights you can get by with just two. Put your strongest light on to light the bulk of the scene. Facing the direction the camera is pointing as that's what the camera will be recording. Then position the 2nd light offset to just add detail to the shadows. If you have two lights that are the same then you could place one each side of the camera.
If the lights are strong you may want to diffuse them, either by putting some paper over them or pointing them to reflect off a white surface.
Remeber that in a well light area your clothes will reflect light back onto the set. wear dark colours while filming.
