Using bounced lights helps give little adjustments to lights by giving a softer, more even illumination in confined spaces where moving lights is difficult and is used by pros to soften a subjects face but can also create atmosphere. There are three methods for using bounced lights, bouncing light off of walls, using a light card which gives more control of how bounced light is positioned on film, and bouncing off of ceilings which gives the most natural look but also is the most dangerous because it can burn ceilings or set off sprinklers.
Bouncing light is something I've never thought of using (or really knew how). The video provides a ice tutorial on how to use the different types of bounced light and frankly, i wish I'd known this earlier, it would have come in handy during the documentary...
