A ring light is a vital tool in video
0:04
content creation. Even if you have
0:06
adequate lighting in the room that you
0:08
want to use for your recording, a ring
0:11
light can spice up your lighting in such
0:14
that it improves the quality of your
0:17
The natural and default use of a ring
0:19
light is to provide lighting to your
0:22
face as you record. It faces you
0:25
directly the way you see in the video.
0:27
The beauty is that you can adjust the
0:29
number of things to get some effects
0:32
that you might like. Here is the control
0:34
[clears throat] panel for your ring
0:36
light. This is the power on off. That's
0:41
And then the next button above it dims
0:45
the light. The next one changes the
0:53
This is more whitish, bluish-white, tint
1:00
This is glowing more orange. Et cetera.
1:03
So, you can change the temperature of
1:06
the ring light by using this third
1:09
button from the bottom. And then the top
1:12
button, what it does is brightens the
1:15
light. So, if you find out that your
1:17
light is too dim, you can brighten it.
1:20
You can dim it. You can change the
1:25
And that gives you a lot of room to get
1:29
If you want to create a video that's
1:31
warm, you can use something like this.
1:34
If you want to create a cooler video,
1:37
a video in which your lighting is
1:39
cooler, you can use this.
1:41
That's the ABC of using a ring light for
1:44
your video creation. So, let's explore
1:47
how these controls, the effect they
1:50
have. So, I'm dimming the light.
1:53
I'm increasing the brightness.
1:58
And then I'm changing
2:00
the temperature of the light.
2:07
Hopefully, you can notice the difference
2:09
in the video. That done, I have shared
2:11
with you how the primary position of the
2:13
ring light is in front of you
2:18
Now, you can also set two different ring
2:21
lights at different angles from your
2:24
front so that they are not directly in
2:26
If you see, you should be able to see
2:29
some reflection of light in my glasses.
2:31
If you wear glasses, having your light
2:34
source directly in front of you
2:35
increases chances of reflection showing
2:37
up in your glasses. So, if you set them
2:40
at angles, one here, one here,
2:43
you reduce the chance of reflection in
2:47
You can surround yourself with four,
2:48
five, six ring lights spread out in an
2:51
arc in front of you, different colors,
2:53
different brightness levels,
2:56
different positions, some
2:58
located above your head, some located
3:01
below you so that the light is beaming
3:05
There are uh almost no limits to the
3:09
variety that you can achieve by playing
3:12
around with your ring light. Now, I have
3:14
said that in front of you directly is
3:17
the natural, the default position of a
3:20
ring light. But, if you look behind me
3:23
you can see that light in around the
3:25
potted plant. It's a ring light I have
3:27
positioned there. I have turned it away
3:29
from me to face the wall
3:32
so that the light bounces off the wall
3:35
onto the leaves of the plant and creates
3:39
that interesting effect there. You can
3:41
also play with the brightness of the
3:45
increase the brightness,
3:47
you can reduce the brightness,
3:50
increase the brightness, you can change
3:53
the temperature of the light to
3:55
whatsoever suits you. The whole idea of
3:59
is about playing around
4:02
till you get the desired results.
4:04
Whatever results you desire, whatever
4:07
effects you want to create.
4:10
Play with different positions. Up, down,
4:16
Just don't allow anything limit your
4:18
creativity. You never know what you
4:21
discover by playing around. Lastly,
4:23
we're looking at the tripod stand that
4:26
comes with the average ring light. You
4:28
can use this to adjust the height of the
4:32
You can use this to further adjust the
4:35
height. You can use this to adjust the
4:40
Simply make your adjustments by turning,
4:43
adjust, and then tightening it back.
4:45
You're losing the bolt to make the
4:46
adjustment. Make the adjustment, then
4:49
tighten it back. Same thing here, and
4:52
same thing here. The idea is to give you
4:54
as much room as possible to create the
4:57
results that you desire. I hope that
4:59

5:02
use a ring light for your video, whether
5:05
it's YouTube, TikTok, Instagram,
5:08
whatever platform, WhatsApp, these tips
5:13
>> the best possible results that you need.
5:16
You can always improve on your skills,
5:19
but you need to start. Play around.

5:23
the results that you want. Thanks for
