Lighting is important on any set, but it's especially important in 360. Think about the times you've taken panoramic pictures on your phone. Did you notice how certain parts were much darker or lighter than others? Our eyes can handle a range of light much better than cameras. Knowing your camera's dynamic range, which we discussed earlier in this module, can help you avoid super dark or overexposed regions. For the most part, you'll rely heavily on sunlight and practical lighting or practicals in your 360 shoots. Practicals are lights that already exist in a scene or would normally exist there, things like ceiling lights and lamps. Depending on upon exposure levels, it's sometimes helpful to bring in additional lamps that match the art direction or adjust the brightness of the bulbs. Installing dimmers in your interior light sources is a quick and easy way to achieve the perfect lighting, but be warned. Though these practicals can help eliminate the scene and reduce noise, they can also create an overexposed look, particularly, on the lights themselves which can appear unnaturally blow out. A helpful strategy when you need more light is to put an LED Matte on the tripod or monopod. This provide extra light that won't appear as a bright source in the video.
