List of lighting equipment and setups that you would use for the following...

A small documentary where portability is paramount
  • Audio reorder
Inhances the volume, so everything that you have filmed can be heard
It's an extra thing to carry around and setup, this could waste time and make things harder
When going through the recordings, you may find something you missed shooting
Having an extra recording device besides from a camera can make people being filmed act less natural

  • shoulder mount
It's eaier to move around to capture shots
Shots might not be as smooth as when using a tripod

  • tripod
Steady shots
may waste time setting up to the correct angle and height for the shot
  • LED lights
Better lit shots
takes time to setup
may put people off, if documenting people


Talking head style interviews


  • Tripod
Keep the camera steady and focused on subject
having a camera placed directly in front of someone may put them off
capture everything needed without hassle of holding camera

  • Reflector
Keep the lighting soft and less harsh on the subject
can be difficult to place if not know what your doing
creates a well lit head shot


A night time shoot

  • Led lights
Creates lighting in order to get well lit shots

  • Tripod
Keep the camera till for shutter speeds under 1/60 sec
