Cinematographer Roger Deakins is no stranger to practical lighting. In this video essay, Deakins explains his approach to practical lighting and why it isn’t just about convenience, it’s about the storytelling. As the cinematographer for such gorgeously lit movies as The Shawshank Redemption, The Village, and Sicario, Deakins knows a thing or two about practical lighting.

Using practical lighting in film has two direct and positive effects. First, practical lighting establishes a motivation for the light in your scene. This doesn’t always need to happen but it helps create the verisimilitude of the scene. As Roger Deakins explains, unmotivated lighting personally takes him out of a movie. Practical lighting, in other words, helps create a cohesive and immersive experience.

The second benefit of practical lighting in film is literally practical. Without practical lights, the entire lighting setup would need to be adjusted for each shot in a scene. And if you’re up to speed on your cliche Hollywood lingo, “time is money.” Lighting with practicals helps reduce that extra time and allows the filmmakers to work within the space more fluidly and effectively.

Roger Deakins cinematography doesn’t just look good, it’s also often minimal and motivated. You can see this even in hyper-stylized worlds like Blade Runner 2049 and In Time. Consider building practical lighting directly into your next project and see for yourself just how it can help tell better stories.
