Syllabus Overview:

Three functions in the use of lighting in film and television:

1. Light as a basic technical condition for generating the optical depiction.

2. Light from the viewpoint of information about the characteristics of the subject of the scene, their textures and reflection.

3. Light as a means of artistic optical depiction stylization.

Light.

Light and its exposure effects are from the cameraman's viewpoint is evaluated in three aspects:

A. Quality, this is - a) given quality of its spectral composition

b) given quality by the character of the light source (point, diffuse).

B. Direction - from the viewpoint of: a) support or muting the perception of the space depiction.

b) support or negation the perception of the real form and dimension of the depicted object.

C. Intensity - a) intensity of a single source and its modifications and distance.

b) intensity composition of multiple sources: main lighting, supplemental and auxilliary.

Practical exponometry.

A. Analysis of scene lighting measuring the light flow on a single lighted object.

B. Analysis of scene lighting from the viewpoint of its brightness structure - points exponometry.

Sources of light and lights.

A. Means of changing the spectral composition of the artificial light sources.

B. Means of changing the characeter of the light source (diffusers, grids).

C. Regulating the nature of the emitted beam flux

Fundamental Lighting Concepts
