Three-point lighting is a crucial skill for both videographers and photographers. In this video, Mia McCormick of Kelby Media gives a simple tutorial on three-point lighting for video. Learn where to place the key, fill and backlight, how to adjust them, and different ways to alter a standard setup in order to create dramatic effects.
Not only is the concept of three-point lighting explained, but McCormick runs through a few representative video lighting kits that will let you put these principles into practice. The tutorial weighs the pros and cons of using tungsten, fluorescent and LED lighting, and demonstrates examples of each type of lighting kit.

Hello,
How much light really depends on the exposure you want to use and ISO rating. The best approach is to try and have too much light as you can always dim it down with difusers and flags or by just moving your lights further away from your subject.
