Some 3 point lighting videos

 Some further videos to watch about 3-point lighting techniques.

Always remember that these ideas are a starting point, it's important to really look at how each light is illuminating YOUR subject. Play with the lights, move them and study the effect
And, always look from the camera's point of view

A great video on 3 point lighting. 

Importantly, mentions how to expose for the background and only then add the three lights one at a time. Long but worth watching.

Another 3 point lighting video

Don't worry about the brand of lights, concentrate on the type/size. A great example near the end that includes a clever effect using a light bounced off a mirror covered in strips of gaffer tape.

Super Dry, but to the point

If you're in a hurry....
