Illumination in Motion Picture Production

R. G. Linderman, C. W. Handley, A. Rodgers

Illumination of motion picture sets for black-and-white cinematography involves special techniques for the long, medium, close-up, and follow shots, as also the use of booster lights on outdoor sets. Color cinematography requires, in addition, special attention to the color quality of the light and the spectral characteristics of the film. The paper includes a discussion of these requirements and an extensive description of modern lighting equipment.
