Naturalism and PictorialismNaturalism and Pictorialism
Naturalism : Follow the logical position of light sources in a scene. This is often referred to as motivated lighting.
Pictorialism: allow the use of light angles that violated this logic, if they achieve a more pleasing picture as a result.

Basic lighting sourcesBasic lighting sources Key light: is the dominant source
of light. It usually establishes character and mood of the shot.
Fill light: Fill light gives the appearance of ambient light and determines the mood by keeping shadows dark or by lightening them.
Back light: is designed to separate the actors from the background. This adds three-dimensionality to the picture.

Color Correction FiltersColor Correction Filters
Color correction filters are used when shooting tungsten-balanced film of doors or when using daylight balanced color film indoors.
85 filters:when shooting tungsten-balanced color film out of doors.
85(the most commonly used), 85B, 85C 80 filters:When using daylight-balanced color film
indoors.

Neutral Density FiltersNeutral Density Filters
To cut down overall brightness and reduce all colors equally.
When to use ND filters Most common used: ND 0.3, ND 0.6 and
ND 0.9, need to increasing exposure (stops) in 1, 2 and 3 stops

Effects FiltersEffects Filters Diffusion filters, Nets, Ultraviolet (UV) filters: The filter most often used
for cutting haze and slightly warming the scene is the Sky 1-A. If you don’t want to extra warmth of Skylight filter, Haze 1 and 2A can be used
Fog filter Low contrast filters: produce less halation and less
softening than fog filter. (Tiffen Ultra Contrast filter) Polarizing filter: light striking an object radiates in
all directions Soft contrast filters Graduated filters
