I was researching about mise-en-scène when I came across this.
This is standard three-point, it is a one of the basic techniques used in cinema. The object/character(s) is placed in front of the camera, a light to the left of the camera (#1) is pointed if not directly then a little to the side of the object. This is known as the Key Light and is the brightest light used to illuminate most of the object. Another light (#2) slightly dimmer is placed to the right of the camera. It is known as the Fill Light and is used to take away the shadow from the object. the final light (#3) is placed behind the object to the right of the camera. This is known as the Back Light and used to get rid of any remaining shadow behind the object.
I found this interesting simply because I feel it would be a good technique to use if I choose to shoot some of my music video scenes in a room or studio.
