Wise words from cinematographer John Alton’s
“Lighting strives to bring out the following values:
1. Orientation – to enable the audience to see where the story is taking place.
2. Mood or feeling (season of year and time of day)
3. Pictorial beauty, aesthetic pleasure.
4. Depth, perspective, third dimensional illusion.”
From John Alton’s “Painting With Light”
