Summary

In this episode, I explore a filmmaking truth that many overlook—framing is more important than lighting. While lighting plays a key role, I explain why framing your shot is even more critical, especially for indie filmmakers who need to maximize coverage and capture multiple takes within tight time constraints. Mastering framing can elevate your shots and storytelling, even when lighting isn't perfect. Don't forget to like, share, and subscribe!
