Three Point Lighting Principle

Three point lighting is ideal for single subject interviews. Often called triangle lighting, it contains three lights around the subject that arm an isosceles triangle. All three lights shine down on the subject at 45 degree angles.
The main light is called the Key Light. It's the brightest one out of all three. It shines directly on the subject from the front. The Fill Light is at an opposite angle to the key light shining on the front of the subject. It removes falloff and softens shadows created by the key light. The backlight helps make the subject stand out from the background and adds focus to the silhouette of the subject's hair and shoulders.

Aspect Ratio & Scanning Methods

Aspect ratio displays the proportions of the width to the height of the screen in the form of x:y. The width is represented by x and height by y. Aspect Ratios: 10" tablet: 4:3 Smartphone: 667:375 Leaderboard Ad: 364:45 HDTV : 16:9 Interlaced and Progressive scanning are the two main ways that devices scan images. Computer monitors and some televisions use progressive scanning, which means that they scan from left to right and top to bottom. Interlaced scanning refers to the method used by most televisions. This system scans all of the odd lines first, and then it scans all of the even lines. Interlaced scanning makes it easier on the viewer's eyes because they are actually only seeing half of the image at once, even though it happens so rapidly that they do not realize it. It also reduces bandwidth use and flickering.

Field of View Variables

Four important variables to consider when composing your field of view are: Camera Location - The point of view (the position of the camera in relation to the subject) is obviously essential to the shot. The physical location needs to be paid careful attention to because it determines what is or isn't in the shot. Camera Angle - the angle of the camera is important because it influences the message of the shot and exaggerates different things in the photograph. Subject Location - this is not always up to the photographer but is just as essential to the shot. The pose and also the landscape around the subject effect the image greatly. Focal Length - this is the lens found on camcorders that gives you latitude to adjust your framing. This helps zooming in and out and to adjust the frame and framing the subject.
