Filming on the shadow side is one way of saying “far side key”. It’s a common cinematography technique that filmmakers use to create contrast, emotion and depth. They put the key light on the far side of shooting to have a 2-1 or 3-1 lighting ratio. 2 stops on the far side and 1 stop on the fill.

That tip about framing for wide shots first is the one. I hadn't even thought of that but it would greatly improve my workflow. I agree about separation of your subject 100% too. Funny, I had an artist say once that he didn't feel a video was professional unless everything was in focus (no shallow depth of field at all) and lit the same way. I was like, "Dude, I ain't interested in shooting your videos then".

2 of them stand out for me: Filming on the shadow side When I started doing this it really helped me to understand that lighting isn't just about exposure. It's about contrast. That difference between light and shadow. And knowing how much control we can have over it. Holding shots I like that you brought up this being important especially in documentary-style shooting. One of my first jobs was as an assistant editor on a reality TV show. Watching back footage, this was one of the most important things I learned. Holding shots to let the action happen in front of the camera.

I really want to get into Cinematography. I'm aware of the playing with shadows and adding to a plain wall (unless I want that negative space) from a photography standpoint. But I think my biggest take away is ensuring that the subject stands out because even though I have a trained eye to find who the subject could be, my viewers don't. Also you said holding your shot for a few seconds longer, that is definitely something I could still stand to do in photography, so I can for sure can see it's influence in the cinema world too.
