We can't shoot good pictures without good lighting, no matter how good the newest cameras are. Shooting under available light gives exposure, but lacks depth, contrast, contour, atmosphere and often separation. The story could be the greatest in the world, but if the lighting is poor viewers will assume it's amateurish and not take it seriously. Feature films and TV shows, commercials and industrial videos, reality TV and documentaries, even event and wedding videos tell stories. Good lighting can make them look real, while real lighting often makes them look fake. Lighting for Cinematography, the first volume in the new CineTech Guides to the Film Crafts series, is the indispensable guide for film and video lighting. Written by veteran gaffer and cinematographer David Landau, the book helps the reader create lighting that supports the emotional moment of the scene, contributes to the atmosphere of the story and augments an artistic style. Structured to mimic a 14 week semester, the chapters cover such things as lighting for movement, working with windows, night lighting, lighting the three plains of action and non-fiction lighting. Every chapter includes stills, lighting diagrams and key advice from professionals in the field, as well as lighting exercises to help the reader put into practice what was covered. www.lightingforcinematography.com

Of course, training and technology in the movie world never really stops, and as we embrace new technology and phase out the previous ways of working there are new areas that develop and become the new normal. In terms of lighting and camera technology, for example, the changes have been immense in the past 15 years, with LED lighting technology now able to accurately generate just about any colour you can imagine in a multitude of different ways. Cameras have developed from the organic and physical 35mm film onto digital sensors with 2K, 4K, 8K resolution and more, all at relatively low prices compared to a few decades ago. Projection and distribution have evolved too, with digital projection now commonplace compared with only a few years ago. Yet the principles of lighting, camera movement, script writing, editing and more are all similar whether a production is on film or digital. The tools are different, and the way light is used can be different, yet ultimately, we are creating images in colour with sound projected in some way to the audience, who then become completely entranced by the story and visual and aural feast they witness before them.
This development all depends on the ability of the movie business to ramp up the training and expertise of a rapidly moving technologically advanced business. The technical ability and experience of the technicians and other key people who make up a functioning and efficient team is the key to the success of any production. Of course, there is always going to be the immense talent at the sharp end from directors, writers, and directors of photography who drive the production and are ultimately in control. Yet the multitude of key skills in set design and building, grip, make up, hair and costume design along with prop making, post-production, sound, and of course lighting, cinematography and many other key skills will be there to support and make the production physically happen. Added to that, there are also trained HGV drivers needed along with catering and a multitude of other skills outside of those we commonly think about. 2ff7e9595c
