      ABSTRACT

      Many multi-camera studio productions will involve lighting two or three people in an interview situation. A single camera location interview allows lamps to be reset between each set-up but a continuous live multi-camera interview requires all faces in shot to be lit simultaneously. There are a number of standard interview shots to be lit (see Interviews page, 178) ranging from close-ups of each participant to over-the-shoulder two-shots and a wide or establishing shot. The normal eye-line of the participants will be towards each other and each face needs to be keyed with respect to the camera that will be shooting their closest shot. Usually this puts the keylight ‘upstage’ of the participant to create modelling shadow on the downstage side of their face. When setting keylights and backlights on an interview semi-circle, careful barndooring is necessary to prevent unwanted light falling on the wrong subject.
