This week we were tested on using lights including the key light, fill light and background light.
The Key light provides the main illumination to the subject and is generally situated on one side of the camera. the fill light is used to lift and shadows cast by the key light and provides illumination to the other side of the subject.
Finally the backlight is used to separate the subject from their background and is situated to one side of the subject, behind them and as close to them as possible without being in the shot.
I found light to be very hard to balance especially in small areas and on certain surfaces that reflect the light.
