DESCRIPTION:
This book is a distillation of many years of experience, with advice and guidance that should bring successful results right from the start.. There are explanations of the mechanics, techniques and aesthetics of lighting treatment. In its new format, this international sourcebook has been extensively restyled to reflect current developments. It covers all aspects of the craft, from the basic physics of illumination to everyday practicalities. But learning through practice alone can take a great deal of time. The new text is sectionalized so that it is more adaptable to lighting courses and personal study. The text presents everyday problems and practical solutions, and suggests alternative effective methods. This is a practical study of the art and craft of lighting for the screen, comprising detailed discussions of the underlying principles and techniques involved. Skillful lighting involves a subtle blend of systematic mechanics and a sensitive visual imagination. It assumes no previous knowledge or experience, and has been specially designed to put the exact information the reader needs at his fingertips. Lighting techniques need to be flexible, for they must satisfy a wide range of situations, and this book helps the reader to understand rather than merely imitate routines. It requires anticipation, perceptiveness, pa

This is the apparency of depth (relative distance from the viewer) characteristic of different colors and depending on background against which they appear.Against a white background, colors give the illusion of distance from the viewer in the order:blue-green (apparently nearest the viewer)bluepurpleredyellowyellow-green (apparently farthest from the viewer)Against a black background, the apparency of distance changes:red (nearest)orangeyellowgreenblue-greenblueviolet (
