🎬Session One (One Hour):

Introduction to Light Metering,how to use them.

Understanding light meters for film and digital.

Difference between incident and reflective metering, how a meter will make your lighting so much more precise.

Metering techniques for accurate exposure using t-stops.

Using a meter instead of "false colour"or a "histogram"is so much more precise.

"False colour"and "histograms",only give you an averaged exposure of the whole scene,they are not "zone specific".

Most lighting lesson,s on this course would be very hard to achieve without a "flat disc"on a meter.

As it is "zone specific"ie" it will read the actual "t"stop of the light falling on a person, with a flat disc

Pegging chosen t-stop to an exposure curve.
How to read an exposure curve.

Practical:

Setting up 4-point lighting: Key, Fill, Kicker, Side Light, with appropriate ratios (1:8).key t4,fill t1.4.

Using whiteboard to illustrate.

ECT.

Introduction to gels and gobos for lighting manipulation.creating "mood and tone"in camera.
