Illustrated throughout with b&w photographs, this textbook introduces students of film and digital cinematography to the principles and techniques of lighting. The unifying theme of the book is the understanding that lighting is a combination of the art of seeing and the science of exposure. Sample topics include setting facial ratios, pre-visualizing exposure choice, matching close-ups to long shots, and controlling contrast. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
