1. LIGHTING Let there be Light

2. AESTHETICS  Realist –Normal lighting-Sitcoms.  Modernist –Slightly abstract - film noir  Post Modernist –Draws attention to the lighting effects:  Rock Concerts  Batman Forever

3. COLOR OF LIGHT  Degrees Kelvin  White balance –Video-electronically within camera –Film-stock/filters must match light –Color plates 3-4, following p. 252  Daylight - 5400 K  Tungsten - 3200 K –Chart p. 184

4. INSTRUMENTS I  Spotlights –Hard edge –Focus control –Fresnel, Ellipsoidal  Floodlights –Soft edge –Little focus control –Scoops, Broads, Softlights

5. INSTRUMENTS I I  Portable –Open faced –Lensed –Variable control  Mounting Devices –Stands –Overhead  Grid, Batten  C-clamps, safety chains

6. SHAPING DEVICES  Filters  Scrims-diffusers  Barndoors  Flags  Cookies  Gels

7. CONTROL  Patch Bay  Control Console-dimmer board  Computer control  Ohm’s Law p. 198 –W = V x A, A = W/V  Inverse square lawp. 199 –L = 1/D 2

8. MEASUREMENT  Incident –Amount of light falling on subject  Reflected –Amount of light bounced from subject  Ratios –Key-to-fill –Key-to-back –Contrast: Darkest vs. brightest

9. LIGHT PLOTS  Scale & accuracy are important  3-point –Key, fill, back  4-point –Key, fill, back, kicker, background  Problems –Shadows, Moving subjects –Single vs. multiple cameras –Low vs. high key

10. LIGHTING METHODS  Single camera –Specific shots by shot  Multiple camera –All shots in scene  Digital cameras –Care for greater detail
