Lighting and Exposure Control in Color Cinematography

Lighting is the most important phase of the cinematographer's art. But the technical aspects of lighting should require only a minimum of time and thought. By adopting simple controls of illumination contrast, brightness range, and exposure, the cameraman will know at any time how close he is working to the limits of film latitude and will be able better to obtain consistent results from scene to scene and from day to day. — This paper describes a new incident-light exposure instrument which also performs the functions of a light-intensity meter and a brightness meter by means of interchangeable light collectors and suitable calibration.
