To present good pictures in filming the show, planning the lighting is also a main priority. In a TV Show, lighting is needed for the Talent, the set and a WS of the Studio. The lighting must be in the correct position to where the Talent is sitting and their Eye Line.
Three point lighting:
-Key lighting is the overall main light or spot light, producing a Hard light, giving a hard shadow behind the Talent. The Key light also provides contrast and shape to the Talent's face.
-The Fill Light is used to fill in shadows, which presents a softer shadow.
-The Back light is positioned to the back of the set, which lights the back of the Talent. Using a Back light prevents the Talent in blending into the background, and helps the talent stand out. These lights have more depth and are also a Hard light.
The doors on the lights are called Barn Doors. These can also be adjusted and planned out to control a particular style of lighting. Barn Doors are used to prevent any light spilling. All of the lighting is attached to a railing, which sits above the set. This is called the Lighting Grid. Whoever is adjusting the lighting, the light must not be too glaring, as this would not only discomfort and be too bright for the Talent, but the shots would lose detail on the face. Also if the lighting is too low, this still wouldn't show any detail in the face, which shows very untidy and dull shots. When fading the exposure of the lights up or down, this must be done slowly and not quickly because this could damage the lights, as well as effecting our eyes.
