Lighting may seem like one of the great mysteries of filmmaking, but much of it starts with something every filmmaker controls — blocking. Charleston-based Director of Photography Owen Hamilton shares how a scene’s layout, natural light, and practical sources like lamps or windows can create motivated, cinematic lighting — even on a low budget. By using what’s already in your environment, you can add depth, realism, and visual storytelling power to your film.
