3 point lighting (basic and before edits)

We are working on getting a hold on 3 point lighting which is a filming technique that allows us to learn how to light an object and control its' shadows. The three lights used are described and shown below: 

This main light that is used is called a Key Light, this is to light the subject.

The secondary light is called a Fill Light, it is used to, you guessed it, fill the dark shaded areas created by the Key Light on the opposite side. This will make our subject brighter and more even giving us a better image. Both these lights are usually placed on either side of the camera at about 45 degrees to the subject.

 The third light we will be using is called a Rim Light. Like its' name suggests, this light is placed behind the subject and illuminated the back of the shape thus making edges that are lost and shaded become bright and defined, making the subject pop from its' background.

EDIT: This is the final image after the lighting has been adjusted to hit the table differently and the shape material has been edited .

EDIT2: Done with the entire process and will make the gif in a moment :
