Three-point lighting is a method that is used in digital media. Examples are; Video, Computer imagery and Film.

Names of each light and it's purpose:

Key light: This is the main light that focuses on the subject.

Fill light: The use of this light is to fill in bits of shadows caused by the Key light so to keep them from darkening to much.

Back light: This is to define the subject form it's background.

Hope this helps!
