Absolutely! I started out in film production and when I work on a Carrara project, I fall back on basic three-point-lighting far more often than I'd ever imagine. If you don't know what three-point-lighting is, bluetone's suggestion is excellent. If you're planning on animating, I'd recommend books on motion picutre lighting, as well. There are some fairly big differences between lighting for stills and lighting for motion. Blaine Brown's book is very good. Good luck!
