it's all about LIGHTING

lighting techniques are taught in film/tv classes but i think lighting should be taught in elementary school.  it's more than just knowledge for someone shooting a scene w/ a camera. light plays an important role in everyone's life. first of all, with no light we would all be "blind".  simple to think about but easy to take for granted we can see, and we can see only because there are waves bringing our eyes information.  sure we learn about some technical stuff about waves and light in high school, but those are trees and i'm talking about the forest of light.  every time someone says, "oh, i didn't notice that", 99% of the time missing something is because of the lighting, the other times it's a trick someone played on him/her.  there are lots of objects out there that we humans think are working or not working just by looking at a light.
