Light Softbox
A look at what is currently available on eBay
What sort of lighting should I use for a movie? Softbox? Umbrella? Continuous lighting?
I litterally have no idea. I am looking for a good source of light to use on a green screen and I don't know if its an umbrella or a softbox that I should use and if the light has to be continuous or not? And what would be the difffrence?
PS. maybe this has nothing to do, but a professional photographer recommended me to use 500W bulbs for lights

would this be the appropriate puchase?
If you think about it, continuous lighting is the only light you can use for shooting video. Where would you find a flash that could sync at 24 or 30 fps?
And yes, many continuous lights with various wattages are used when lighting a set. They range from about 250 watts to over 1,000 watts. My key lights are 750 watt Lowel lights, some with light modifiers like umbrellas or soft boxes and others with flags, scrims, snoots and other light conditioners attached to them.
Just spend some time looking at some of the old black and white motion pictures to see how lighting is used to provide a dramatic look or feel to each scene (thanks Jim A for that reminder)
