2. LAMP – the bulb LIGHTING INSTRUMENT – the fixture

3. Creates a sharp, distinct shadow.

4. Creates an indistinct shadow.

5. SPOTLIGHT – Produces a sharp, directional beam.

6. A SPOT LIGHT COMMONLY USED ON STUDIO GRIDS. DISTINCT BY THE RAISED CIRCULAR EDGES ON THE LENS

7. Flood Light – Produces a diffused, non-directional light that spreads over a wide area.

8. A FLOOD LIGHT COMMONLYUSED ON STUDIO GRIDS. DISTINCT BY THE DOME SHAPED RELECTING FIXTURE.

9. Barn doors – moveable metal flaps attached to a lighting instrument Flag – a flat piece of metal that is placed in front of the instrument

10. A device used to soften the intensity of light without reducing its color temperature. (I.E. Gels)

11. Umbrellas Reflectors Scrims

12. Use a diffusion device Bounce the light Move the instrument away from the subject Use a lower watt lamp Use a dimmer

13. KEY – The main source of illumination FILL – Placed opposite the Key light BACK LIGHT – Placed above & behind the subject

14. A scale developed by a scientist (William Thomson, 1 st Baron Kelvin) that measures color temperatures of light in degrees Kelvin (i.e.: 32K).

15. 3200 degrees Kelvin equals White Light. In order to reproduce colors properly on TV the light hitting the object must be WHITE (32K).

16. A function of video cameras that forces the camera to see an object as white no matter the type of light hitting the object.

17. A light meter, also known as an exposure meter, is a tool used to measure light levels. Light meters are commonly used in photography, motion film and video to help determine the ideal exposure setting.
