Lighting and production

1) tell stories
2) aesthetics-visual beauty

Different types of production
•single camera production-on location,gets more out of your actors, spend more money on the one camera so you get good quality film
 •multi camera production-filmed in a studio I.e. Coronation street. Mass produced, want to spend as little money as they can, multiple cameras on the action do it can be cut from camera to camera.

Light
-hard light=direct light.
-soft light=diffused light.
When shooting, you should film with the sun behind you as it will illuminate  your frame with light.
Although, if you're looking at getting a silhouette effect, shooting into light would be better.

Tonal range
-brightness at the top of the frame(highlights)
-mid tones, anything in between the frame
-shadows darkest at the bottom of the frame

Exposure
-we expose the lense to light. We control this exposure with an iris
