[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 365910, member: 12496"] Right, it is a hazard. In the movies, you soon get to where you are not interested in who the murderer was, you are instead trying to figure out the lighting angles and ratio. :) My notion is the old classic movies spent great effort on the lighting. The closeups of the famous leading stars were planned extremely carefully. Action scenes are hard to plan, they just sort of happen. EDIT: Oops. I always leave something out. Higher than head speaks only of the main light. The fill light should be very close to the lens axis, which means back by the camera so the camera can see around it. Close to the lens lights what the lens sees, and specifically does not create a second set of shadows.
