It might be necessary to hold the meter at an angle to the direction from which the light is coming, to avoid this shadow. The closeup reading is particularly useful where there is but one object of interest, such as in a movie closeup. An animal held, a portrait or flower pictures can be conveniently and accurately measured by means of the Closeup method. The Brightness Range method, the third and last in the meter user's repertoire, involves two closeup readings. One is taken of the brightest object in the scene, representing the upper extreme, and the other, of the darkest object, representing the lower extreme. Obviously, the brightest object is the one having the highest light value, and the darkest is that with the lowest light value. After obtaining these two light values, they are averaged, and the average figure is used to determine the correct // stop, if a cine meter is used. If the universal type is employed, do not average the values. Rather, set the normal arrow index the same number of blocks from the brightest object value as it is from the darkest. In other words, center the arrow midway between the two extremes. The advantage of this method is found in the faithfulness of the reproduction. It is the most accurate means of exposing film. and. where accurate exposure and the utilization of the film range to the utmost are essential, this is the method to use. Let us review the different ways in which a meter can be used: 1. The Camera Position method — meter held at the position of the camera. Particularly suggested for landscapes and distant views where all objects are practically of equal importance. 2. The Closeup method — meter held close to one particular object. Recommended where there is but one object of principal interest. 3. The Brightness Range method — two closeup readings, and the exposure centered midway between. Desirable for most accurate reproduction of the scene, and where the last iota of film range must be used. Irrespective of which method is used, you should measure every scene. Two different locations may look the same, and your judgment may say that both will require the same exposure. But, instead of your judgment, use the meter. That is why you have it.
