Abstract
The use of photoelectric exposure-meters by Hollywood studio cameramen is definitely increasing. Such meters are universally employed on Technicolor productions, and are also employed by an increasing majority of studio cinematographers for monochrome exterior scenes. In general, cameramen consider conventional types of photoelectric meters unsuitable for use on interior scenes. For use under studio interior lighting a meter of especial precision in the low-brightness range is necessary and a direct-reading, rather than a reflection-reading, type would be preferred by many. In the opinion of many leading cameramen, a photometer reading directly in foot-candles, rather than an exposure-meter reading in photographic exposure units, would be preferable for this usage.
