1. KEY- This is usually the strongest light and has the most influence on the look and mood of the scene. The key is placed on one side of the camera/subject so that this side will be well lit and the other side will have some shadow.
FILL- This is the secondary light and is placed on the opposite side of the key light. Used to fill the shadows created by the key. Fill usually softer and less bright than the key. To achieve this the fill light should be further away or use light some spun. Might want to set the fill to more flood than key.
BACK- The back light is placed behind subject and lights them from the rear. Rather that providing direct lighting (like the key or the fill) its purpose is to provide definition & subtle highlights around the subject from the background and provide a 3 dimensional look. Basically the back creates depth.
2.Use a reflector to bounce the direct sun light away from the subject, this reflector could be made of a number of things such as white foam core, a shinny silver surface(aluminum foil,) or a back cloth covered board.
3. In any scene you should never move the camera angle more than 180 degrees,so as not to make the viewer sick. Or, it could have to do with the 3 point lighting and thats the distance between the camera and all 3 lights: key-30degrees, fill-50, and back-100degrees.
