Hi all! I have just started to read about lighting. I use a miniDV camera. 1)Can white balancing save me from thinking about fluorescent, tungsten and daylight as well as using a lightmeter? 2) Does anyone know what DPs in Hollywood and generally in professional level do? I heard that many just use tungsten for indoor lighting and shut off any other light source in the house... Is that true? When we see a shot where the lights are on in a room, that means that the DP has changed the bulbs in the room with tungsten lights? I thank you in advance...

No, I did not know that... Thanx a lot!

Hi all! Does anyone here know any sites with downloadable short films, not from famous directors, but from people like you and me? I thank you in advance...

Hi all! Do you know if Aronofsky's "Pi" complies with the 3 Act Structure? Do you believe that 3 Act Structure is dead? Do you believe that a more free form of screenwriting is better? I have a central idea, and want to write a 15min short script about it. How should I go about it? I have already made a 7min film with a good idea that didn't come good as a script and therefore does not make much sense on screen, so now I would like to put more attention to the script part. I don't want to just write what comes to mind. I think that a more structured approach might be better... What is your opinion on the matter? I thank you in advance...
