“If I really wanted to, I could isolate the pumpkins and bring them up.
I don't like the way they clip. I would brighten them back up to where
they're clipping. Like they would in real life. Because when it's clipped
like that but it's low, it just doesn't look right. So if I brighten the pump-
kins up, this picture would say day-for-night much better. It would simu-
late it much better.” As he blows out the pumpkin lights, the shot looks
much more realistic as day-for-night ( Figures 6.38 - 6.41 ).
