Come on COMO
My man.
Focus. You gotta get the shot in focus. Or were you hand-holding and it's blurring me ?
The lighting is Blah for the most part. No depth, no highlight, no background, no eyelight, no noseshadow
I'm not saying you gotta have all those elements or that they are even fast rules ...
But this looks like just not a real effort at all.
Just my honest .02
Keep trying

Holy, i really suck at lighting. Theres no way i can do all of that, expecially with the two lamps i own!
Focus? my shutter was at 1/24, so maybe i captured this still while i moved a little, and yes I was filming my self, so it's kinda hard to get everything perfect.
Do I HAVE to have a backlight? What if the mood is dark, and i dont want a backlight?
just asking.

You don't have to, but it really helps.

edit - That's really basic, but it's a good starter (and entertaining).

If you're going for a "dark" mood, sometimes a really strong black light looks nice. I china ball as a fill to bring up the light level and a strong backlight behind the subject.
I've seen it work well. Depends on what kind of "dark" you're talking about though.

Three sources is a bare minimum. Lights around your house may brighten up the scene, but you will not be able to control them, and they probably aren't strong enough. Also, good luck finding a hard light somewhere in your house.
Start reading the lighting forum religiously and pay attention to all of the technical debates about certain lights. Any term you don't understand, give it an Isara search.
Also, watch films and pay attention to how they may have been lit.
