Question

How can lighting affect costumes and makeup and the actors wearing them in films and theatrical productions?

Answer 1

Lighting can either make or break the show. Lighting can change the makeup color which can affect the appearance of the actors dramatically. Lighting is literally everything in all forms of visual productions. Theatre lighting is most often set at a 45-degree angle to the stage so that it can counteract any shadows that could be cast on the actors and to also avoid washing the actors out by having too much light.
