Chapter 3 - Take Home Question

1. You are to supervise the lighting of a face cream commercial. The script calls for an ECU of the model’s face. The novice LD (Lighting Director) suggests using a fast falloff “to accentuate the nice bone structure of the model’s face.” Do you agree with the LD? If so, why? If not, why?

Answer: I agree with using a fast falloff. The reason being, because a fast falloff will cause a lighted area such as a jawline, to change abruptly into a dark shadow the minute there is no more surface. This allows for the jawline to be properly accentuated and makes it stand out amongst the rest of the face. You could use this concept even for a larger person and make it appear that they have a solid facial bone structure.
