Dakota_Chapter6

    One idea that stuck out to me is that cinematography should feel invisible, because if the audience notices the lighting, then the story loses its power. I like how the chapter showed that shadows are just as important as light, and that lighting is really about shaping emotion rather than just making something look “cool.” It reminded me that the best images are the ones that fit the story, not the ones that just stand out on their own.

    This video really helps show me how to use good lighting to make sure our church live stream looks clear and engaging. That’s important because I see way too many churches with livestreams that look dark, flat, or distracting. If the lighting serves the message well, it helps people focus on the Word instead of the technical flaws.
