The Best Way to Light Table Scenes | Cinematography Techniques

Stay tuned to the end for a chance to win a prize! On today's episode of 4MFS, DP/Host Kevin Reyes shows us how to light one of the most common scenes in all of filmmaking - the classic fancy dinner scene. The name of the game here is soft lighting, and we're achieving an especially soft quality of light by double-breaking the light through diffusion frames with fabric control grids. Anytime that we have a traditional restaurant scene, practical lighting plays a huge part in making the scene look natural, which we include in this setup. We also talk about rigging lanterns overhead, maintaining a consistent color temperature, and framing up your shot. No matter what kind of dinner scene you are shooting, you'll be able to take away some cinematic tips for your next production. Want more free lighting and cinematography tutorials?
