Overview

Imagine recording an interview outside. You can’t simply move the sun, but you can certainly manipulate it! Students learn how to build and use DIY reflectors to ensure natural, even lighting.

This is lesson 22 in “Building a News Hour,” the second module from PBS NewsHour Student Reporting Labs’ module series.
