A decent sized, high-quality <strong>collapsable reflector<\/strong> typically runs between $50 &#8211; $100 and can make a huge difference in the overall production value of a video project.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve been shooting for a substantial amount of time, there\u2019s a good chance you already have one of these in your kit. If not, I highly recommend picking one up and making use of it in the following ways:<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"1-diffuse-the-sun\">1.

For instance, if I\u2019m shooting an interview outdoors and the sun is directly overhead, I\u2019ll set up the disc on a stand (or have a PA hold it) to diffuse the harsh sun on the talent\u2019s face.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"2-bounce-your-backlight\">2.

That said, in many cases that will result in a back-lit shot and ultimately your talent will be underexposed. Using your <strong>reflector<\/strong> on either the white or silver side is a great way to bounce that sunlight back into the face of your actor, effectively bringing up their exposure. The silver side will bounce a harder and brighter light back onto the talent, while the white side will be softer and more forgiving.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"3-create-a-rim-light\">3.

In these cases you don\u2019t necessarily need to use your <strong>reflector<\/strong> to fix any lighting issues in your shot, but rather use it for a stylistic effect.<\/p>\n<p>One of my personal favorite techniques involves placing the <strong>reflector<\/strong> behind the talent (and off camera of course) and bouncing the sunlight against the back of their head. This creates a beautiful rim light that emulates the look of a more thoroughly lit scene, even though no lights are being used at all.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Have any tips for using a collapsable
