How to set the light of the hero and heroine of the romance film to be the most beautiful?
ow in this scene, there are soft key light and soft fill light. The contours of the face are already good, but would it be better if you add something to it? add what? – Metering.
Use 1: To separate the background from the characters
Romance dramas have always been the most frequent theme in film and television dramas. During filming, you want the audience to focus all of their attention on the heroine and make them feel that this hero is more important than everyone else.
You may first adjust the focal length of the camera to blur the distance and only keep the protagonist in focus, but if you add this metering, you will find that the protagonist has a halo on his head, so that the audience can The child will notice the protagonist.
Maybe you want the protagonist to make a strong impression on the audience. We can change the camera position, shoot the protagonist from the top, or shoot from the top, or we can highlight the importance of the protagonist, and metering the protagonist can achieve that.
Let’s take a look at the comparison chart of no metering and metering:
I believe you will soon be able to see the difference between the two! Compared with the previous picture, the feeling of separation between the background and the characters is more obvious in the next picture.
Use 2: Make characters have eye light
In order to make the characters in the picture vivid, the eye light must be considered. No matter how you’re lighting, what kind of light is in front of you, key light or metering, make sure there’s a reflection in your character’s pupils. With light in the eyes, it is equivalent to having a god, which will bring a good feeling to the whole scene. Without this reflection, the character would look dull-eyed.
We learned about the main light, fill light, and metering lights. The key light sets the tone of the scene, the fill light modifies the key light, and the metering allows the protagonist to be separated from the background for additional effects. How do the three lights work together to create a cinematic effect?
Let’s look at a scene first:
This scene has two lights shot straight down from the ceiling, an effect that sitcoms generally have. The shadows in the scene are similar from all angles, which means that the sitcom tries to make the distribution of lights and shadows as even as possible. But when filming, you need to make the lighting look unique from an angle.
Generally speaking, to make a scene dramatic, the characters must have a sense of outline, proper shadow coverage, and depth of field, so as to express the connotation of a story.
Let’s assume a scene: in the morning (the light of the sun has risen), a girl in love is drinking coffee and waiting for her beloved boyfriend.
How should such a scene be lit? You can quickly turn your head and think about it.
first light
First, turn on a fill light that accentuates the shadows of the contours of the character’s face.
second light
So we now need a soft light that illuminates the background. Soft light is needed because it doesn’t create an unsightly shadow on the background. Think about it, in the morning the sun hits the characters directly, not the background, so the shadows on the background should be soft. Here you can use a baffle to reduce excessive shadows and soften the light.
third light
We used two lights above, but the hair of the characters in the scene will still look a little awkward. Wouldn’t the effect be better if the hair was illuminated with the right light?
fourth lamp
We have already learned about metering, and now turn on a metering light to illuminate the hair on the top of the character’s head.
Four lights distribution map:
The comparison between the uniform lighting method of sitcom and the dramatic scene lighting method:
The melodrama scene is very different from the dramatic one, we added a few more lights to the scenes with dramatic conflict, the key light creates the overall shadows and outlines, and the metering gives the characters a good separation from the background , and cooperate with other lights to give the scene a depth of field effect. This lighting method fully expresses the scene we want to show.
How Lighting Makes “Scene Emotional”
- Romance or Drama
There is sufficient lighting in the scene, and the shadows on the nose and face of the characters are softer. This kind of film gives people a relaxed feeling, and the light must be soft.
2.Mystery plot, horror movie
There are more shadows on the faces of the characters. When it comes to shadows, we can think that strong light can bring a strong sense of silhouette to the characters. So horror movies often have dark scenes. There are many shadows in the scene, which will make the audience feel very mysterious and want to discover and dig the story, which just satisfies the curiosity of the audience. Therefore, the more shadows in the scene, the more mysterious it is.
3.good people, bad people lighting method
The good guys: soft, bright lights
The bad guys: shadows, even shadows with strong silhouettes.
Organize some pictures and feel it first:
1、Romantic comedy
Different kinds of light accentuate different kinds of people, and it’s not just the shadows on the faces that are associated with them, but the shadows of the scene in general. So, lighting can express the “emotion” of the scene you are shooting.

It can effectively help restore and enrich the color of the subject
Provide you with natural and vivid shooting effects
It can also provide excellent lighting effect for films, film and television dramas, film and television advertisements, etc.
The new GVM ST series LED panel is a powerful light source. It adopts full RGB + WY five-color light source. More colors can output a wider color gamut, so as to provide tens of millions of rich and bright colors.
High color rendering index CRI 97 + & TLCI 97+This can achieve accurate color rendering on the camera and restore the most realistic object color.In order to obtain professional effects, but also provide you with natural and vivid shooting effects.It can ensure that the color layout in the matrix system and rgbwy in the beam area are mixed evenly without color separation.
The adjustment range of gvm-st300r brightness is 0.1% – 100.0%, and the user can adjust the brightness accurately to 0.1%;Finer.dimming accuracy can provide smoother dimming process and more accurate color; With the new algorithm model of GVM, the light intensity can be adjusted step by step, and the dimming process can be completed quickly and smoothly.
GVM-ST300R has four dimming curves (linear/logarithmic/exponential/S curves) to be selected to meet the technical requirements of studio devices, such as TV news and entertainment production sets. High standard and professional light control technology is also the best choice for variety shooting and movie making.
The panel has a solid, all-aluminum structure that can withstand heavy daily use. The sturdy housing is functionally designed with built-in rear handles and bottom legs for easy operation, installation and storage of the panel.

GVM ST300R provides a smooth and even beam field by combining the latest wide beam, true-tone SMD LED and diffuser plates. The large surface area of the panel produces a bright, surround output with clean, soft shadows and acts as a beautifying light on the body.
With the carefully designed mute system, the GVM-ST series boldly introduces a new design, with a built-in cooling super-mute fan. The advantage of the dual fan is that it can effectively cool down without requiring a high speed. With 100% light intensity, the noise will not exceed 40dB even if the two fans rotate at the same time (when the ambient noise is less than or equal to 22dB). Almost no sound can be heard, and there is no need to adjust the lighting position to accommodate the noise.
