Just a quick question. I am studying still and for the frist time i'm allowed to use prime lenses. I just want to know, why whould i want to use for example a 35mm prime lens if I can just use a 12-120mm zoom and set it to 35mm? what is the difference, positives/negatives of both? :unsure:

Thanks Chris

I have a quick question. I have to shoot a film where our lead actress has a meduim dark skin. however, the narrative suggests that her father is Caucasian. Is it possible, excluding the work of the Production Designer, to use light in a manner so to make her appear with a lighter skin tone. not heavely change it but merely light it in a manner as to give her a lighter complextion? Or is re-casting the best option? Moreover, are there any good tips on shooting dark and light skined actors together outside at night. (On a farm) :unsure: :unsure: In terms of Exposure? Thanks..
