Three Point Lighting
Using a single light source is never a good idea. It’s really difficult to get it to light someone’s face adequately - shadows appear, the light is either too bright or not bright enough.
Using two lights is better - because you can even out the shadows and control things more - but it can look a bit flat because the light is all from the front.
Three lights are where it gets interesting. With a third light - even a domestic lightbulb - behind your subject, you start to get a sense of depth - creating a space between your interviewee and the wall behind them. The lights don’t need to be big - and there doesn’t even need to be three of them: street lights in the distance, a wall light or even a bedside light will give all the visual clues you need that the room you’re filming in has depth - and make the subject appear as the dominant feature in the room.
