FIGURE 9.12Interior day, two-person scene
The lights are set up so that it will be easy for the DP to shoot in two directions—first the angle on one actor, then the angle on the other. There are two key lights and two fill lights, one set for each actor. The DP has adjusted the lighting levels so that there will be visual continuity no matter where the camera is positioned; setting the lights in this way also saves time, because the director can move quickly from one angle to another.
