Today will be covering color temperature harsh light and low light situations, gels and our first topic for the day the “Fusion”. By using diffusion paper or China a ball, you can spread the late out eliminating in the hot spots. The further way your diffusion is from your light source the softer and more spread out relay will not be.
Another way to reduce hot spots is to build the hands squeezer lets take a class trip over to the BFX workshop to figure out how.
Split wires so you just have one, take the ground cut it off. Now take your quick unplug, insert one wire from that and one wire of to the dimmer one of the black wires into that and the attach them. Then with the other on of with that strand that you split take the other black wire off the dimmer and put that into the female receptacle. Now keep your self from getting electrocuted wrap the entire the entire thing in electrical tape and then plug this in your power source in this you allow and you can control the sun.
Here is the tip for getting rid of those hot spots when shooting out doors.

Forum member sky Carole use cloak, aluminum foil to make reflectors to add filing when I need a little bit more light, if you have a budget you can also get generator to power your lights out in the wilderness, to achieve different moods in your film you can use gels in your lighting
Gels are attached to lights the same way s that fusion and then both can be added to the same light except gels are used to change the color temperature of your light source. Basically there are two color temperatures that you should know. The first is 3200K whose bulbs are labeled tungsten and a very close in color temperature to incandescent bulbs, which you can find around your house in your lamps. Tungsten and incandescent are both used for indoors.
Now the second color temperature is 5000K whose bulbs normally are called day light or full spectrum and these are to be used out doors. These daylight bulbs are the same color temperature as natural daylight which makes them perfect if you are shooting outside and it is pretty shadowy and you need additional lights.
The indoor lights should be used primarily for indoor shoots. It is important to remember the white balance your camera properly, that is why Jared face appeared orange because the camera has white balanced the daylight. And, these lights are even indoor color temperature. If we switched the white balance pre set to indoor, you will see that his face now has a more natural tone. But the outside is now unsettling blue. All the more reason to use those daylight bulbs and white balance to outdoor settings in this situation.
Both indoor and outdoor bulbs can be purchase for the DIY light kit. Some cam is let you manually set the white balance, this can be done by holding a white sheet of paper in front of your lens and completely filling the frame and then using your cameras manual white balance feature which can usually be found hidden under this symbol.
Joules can also be used to change the color temperature of your shot. For instance, if you are using your indoor bulb, put a blue gel over it and go boost the colored temperature up to 5000K, which turns it into a daylight bulb, and the adverse can be done to your daylight bulbs by putting in orange gel on top.
That will wrap up today’s episode. Join us next week and when we take everything that we learned today and apply them to real life situations that you may encounter in your next shoot. Special thanks to all you guys that contributed your videos or commented in the advance lighting trend.
