It is possible to adjust how light and shadow fall on a subject by changing the size, distance, intensity, and position of these light sources, as well as their degree angle, to create various moods.  The three point lighting consists of the Key light, Fill light and Back light. The key light is the In the three-point lighting set, this is the main and strongest light source. It determines the total exposure of a scene. This main light is often placed on a light stand at a 45-degree angle to the camera, slightly off to the side of the camera and in front of the subject, creating shadows on the opposite side of the subject's face, giving it perspective and depth.

 The camera that I am am going to use for my short feature is Canon 200D. This camera is not very complicated to use and can capture some staggering shots. It can capture up to 24.2 megapixels, 5 frames per second, and offers up to 80 different lenses. A new processor named as DIGIC 7 was introduced and it can capture in low-lighitng conditions (when there is no direct light coming towards the source). The APS-C-sensor makes it much more easier to shoot in better conditions such as using a shallow depth field which it is very ideal when filming in portrait. These necessary setting will be adjusted in order to produce the best high quality video possible. Apart from the camera , I will be using a tripod for the shooting of the video. A tripod is necessary so it stabilizes the shots when filming the B-Roll around Gozo.  Alongside the B-Roll, an interview will take place with a Gozitan , and will explain to us a typical day living in Gozo. He will also suggest some different inte...
