As an AI language model, I don't have personal experience or emotions, but following are the ways Lighting Designers work with Directors and Cinematographers to achieve a desired look:
1. Meet to discuss creative vision: Before shooting begins, lighting designers, directors, and cinematographers hold meetings to establish a shared creative vision for the film. This meeting establishes a baseline for the look of the film, and lighting designers can work to implement it.
2. Review scripts and storyboards: Lighting designers work closely with Directors, and Cinematographers, they get access to the script and storyboards, so they can begin to plan out the different looks and lighting schemes needed for each scene.
3. Plan out lighting setups: Once the basic creative vision is established, lighting designers will start planning out how each scene should look. This involves deciding which lights to use, where to place them, and how to manipulate them to achieve the desired look.
4. Test lighting setups: Once the lighting setups are planned, the lighting designer will set up and test the lighting rigs to ensure they achieve the desired look. This test allows them to adjust the setup and lighting schemes, if necessary, before the actors and cameras arrive on set.
5. Collaborate on set: On set, lighting designers work closely with directors and cinematographers to make sure that the lighting is correct, and the actors are well lit to capture the desired look. This means adjusting lighting levels and positioning in response to feedback from the director and/or cinematographer.
6. Adjust for post-production: After the filming is complete, lighting designers will work with post-production teams to make any final adjustments to the lighting, colors, and shadows to ensure the final film achieves the desired look.
