Filmmaking Tutorial: 180 Degree Rule and Other Shot Sequence Tips

"Welcome to the Lights Film School video tutorial on the 180 degree rule and other shot sequencing tips. But before we begin we'd like to take a moment to show you our lighting setup for this tutorial. We always like to do this to remind you that you don't need a truckload of lights and equipment to create strong compositions and well lit shots. Here we have a wide shot showing our scene. In this shot we're only using two lights. We have an overhead practical light exposing our main character and a small kino flo in the background acting as a "rim light" and giving our background a bit of texture."
