Day for Night Filters
Tiffen Day for Night filters are a great way
to create the look of night during the day
without the hassle. Combined with proper
exposure compensation, Tiffen Day for
Night filters are an easy and cost effective
way to create a realistic dusk or nighttime
appearance when filming during the day,
simplifying production requirements. These
filters will save the expense of what might
be extensive lighting needed for large areas
when actually shooting at night, instead of
making use of available sunlight.
The Cool Day for Night is based on the
perception that moonlight is cool, therefore
bluish in color. To simulate a feeling of
moonlight, a particular shade of lavender
is used, producing visual coolness while
maintaining realistic flesh tones. In addition,
since the ability to see detail at night is
diminished at lower light levels, a low
contrast component is added to the filter as
shown in the examples to the right.
No Filter
The Monochrome Day for Night (not
shown) is based on the fact that low light
levels reduce the sensitivity of the eye to
color causing a more monochromatic effect.
The filter skews the color balance so that
upon fine tuning the color timing, the
proper monochrome effect can be created.
Cool Day for Night and Monochrome
Day for Night filters are available in sizes
to fit all professional motion picture and
video lenses.
