A design approach to lighting and color rendering in indoor sets

Indoor lighting and color design practice for television set and movie industries evolved in the decades because the real-time observer is the camera instead of the human being. Nevertheless, even modern cameras do not have the dynamic, adaptation, and cognitive correction of the human visual system. Although technology evolutions of cameras allow regulatory actions to control the parameters related to color, there are still open issues in this sector. Solid-State lighting has greatly enriched the color creativity for directors of photography, and numerous ways of standardizing color coordinates have been proposed to have a common vocabulary. However, this has also led to the emergence of new technical and organizational issues. Different cameras capture colors illuminated by LED sources, slightly different from each other. The purpose of this paper is not to cover all the scientific aspects for the lighting of indoor sets but to collect the right amount of information relating to the operations design on light and its chromaticity under a design method approach.
