Film near a big window during the day for soft, even lighting on your face. Natural sunlight makes videos look warm and clear. If the sun is too strong, use curtains or a thin white cloth to make the light softer and more pleasant.

A key light is your main light source. Put it slightly to the side of your face at eye level. This adds brightness and removes heavy shadows. It makes your face look clear, focused, and much more professional in all kinds of brand videos.
Use three lights—a key light, a fill light, and a backlight. The key light brightens your face, the fill softens shadows, and the backlight separates you from the background. This setup gives a clean, balanced, and high-quality video look.

Harsh light can create ugly shadows and sharp lines. Use softboxes, white umbrellas, or even thin white fabric to spread the light evenly. Soft light looks better on camera and makes your video feel more friendly, smooth, and professional.

Avoid using both yellow (warm) and white (cool) lights in the same video. Mixed lighting can make your video look strange and unprofessional. Use one type and set your camera’s white balance to match it for clean and even skin tones.

If your background is too dark, your video may look flat or boring. Add a soft light behind you to brighten it up. This makes your video feel deeper and more interesting, helping your subject stand out from the scene behind.

Use small lights like lamps, fairy lights, or colorful LEDs in your scene. They brighten up the background and add some style. These “practical lights” look great and can double as decoration and lighting without costing much.

Lighting controls how your video feels. Bright white light feels happy and clean, while soft or dim light feels calm, serious, or romantic. Use lighting to match the mood of your brand video and connect better with your audience.
