Generally, a lighting ratio of 2 to 1 is desired. In other words, the key light should be twice as strong 
as the fill light. However, the best guide for proper lighting is what the picture looks like in the camera. 
Even if it’s not practical to set up three lights, consider using at least one light and bounce it off the 
ceiling for a natural, diffused look.

Regardless of whether you shoot inside or outside, with or without lights, always keep the primary 
light source in front of the subject. Carefully choose your angle with respect to the sun when shoot-
ing outside. If shooting inside, avoid positioning the subject with a window behind them, or close the 
shades to keep out unwanted light. When shooting outside in sunlight, use the ND Filter to lower the 
light level and keep the iris below F11.

Summary/Shooting Tips

1.  Care of equipment.

 You are financially responsible for the equipment while it is in your 

possession. Repack everything carefully, checking to make sure you haven’t left any cables or 
accessories behind. Remove the battery from the camera and help us keep track of which batteries 
need to be charged. Secure the camera in the case using the straps. Make sure all tripod legs are 
folded up and secured. Unlock the pan and tilt locks when the tripod is folded up. Please DO NOT 
LEAVE CAMERAS IN YOUR CAR.
 Extreme hot or cold is not good for the equipment, and is especially 
hard on batteries.

2. Observe good etiquette.

 When arriving for your shoot, be polite and introduce yourself before 

bringing in lots of gear and setting up. Don’t misrepresent yourself: you are working as a Volunteer
not as an AccessVision employee.

3. Ask questions.

 There are a million different ways to communicate with video, and each format has 

its own considerations. Feel free to discuss your particular project with us if you need help or ideas. 
The AccessVision technical staff have all had lots of real-world experience in producing all sorts of 
videos, and we are happy to share that knowledge with you to make your productions successful.
