Objective: Film 2 scenes featuring each aspect of a thorough lighting setup with appropriate camera settings

Example 1:  For this example, I wanted to depict an outer space tea party with Baby Yoda and his glowy alien cat friend.  I wanted it to appear as if the cat was lighting the entire scene and "pulsating" light.  The toy I used only glows with a static light if you want one color (it can rotate through multiple on a timer, but I wanted him to remain blue throughout this scene).  In order to do this, I utilized a set of LED lights that I have in my bedroom set to pulsate a similar blue color as the cat to achieve this effect, and placed the scene in front of these lights.  You can see how I set this up in the pictures below.  I also added a subdued keylight in the front of the scene using the flashlight on my phone covered with an index card and held in place with a phone stand.  To complete the setup, I also added a fill light pointing away from the scene towards the wall, again with an index card to soften the light and prevent shadows on the characters.  This helped to add a but of dimension and definition.  I filmed on a Nikon D3500 for this project. The camera settings were f-stop: 5.6; SS-: 1/50; ISO: 113; ISO-A: 8000; FR: 24fps; resolution: 1080p.

Example 2:  For this example, I kept the tea theme going but this time my idea was to create a shot that might be used in an advertisement.  To achieve this, I wanted to have bright, direct lighting, but to reduce the reflections and shadows as much as possible without it looking unrealistic.  In addition to the overhead light, I used one of my side table lamps for their warm tones, which combined act as the keylight.  I also used a white table cloth to help reflect some of the light back up.  I used the same portable lights as in the first example, but this time I lightly wrapped them in paper towels to diffuse some of the harshness while still keeping them pointed directly on the scene.  I also propped the camera at a slight downwards angle while filming. I used the same camera as above with settings of f-stop: 5.6; SS: 1/50; ISO: 6; ISO-A: 5000; FR: 24fps; resolution: 1080p.

Objective: Embed YouTube clips of 3 scenes from a movie, show, or artwork and describe something interesting about the lighting setup
