Hey people,
In two weeks im shooting my first passion project on 16mm. Really exciting but scary at the same time as im dealing with some difficult lighting situations and I need some help.
So on the day I have a spotlight coming from top pointing straight down on the actor. (see reference pics from my test attached) My plan was to measure the shadows with my light meter but im scared the highlights will be too blown out cause there is that big of a difference in exposure. What would you do in this situation?
I've heard some people take their digital camera with them to measure the exposure as well. Is that something I could do in this situation?
Thanks for understanding i'm really keen to learn more about film.
