Lighting for night

[Esthero]

Well, the Super 8 bug has slowly consumed every second of eery day for a few months now.
I'm having some problems with lighting and filers, etc. If i'm using Kodachrome 40, shooting outside, i don't need a filter, right? But if i use that inside with tungsten, i need filter # 85...correct?
Also, what if i want to shoot a scene at night, outside, the film won't pick anything up cause there's not enough ligh so can i shoot earlier and underexpose the film,, I DUNNO! I'm GOIN NUTS WITH THE LIGHTING! please help me with super 8 lighiting and using the in camera light meter.. thank you!

Read this:

The Filmmakers Handbook by Steven Ascher & Ed Pincus
published by, Plume.

It is the single best book on film in my opinion.

I would agree with the comment about the book. Kodachrome is Tungsten balanced--so you need the 85 outside. As for shooting day for night shoot at non when the shadows will be less. Then stop down a couple stops no more than 2 I would say. I would also try some filters which ones I can't say off the top of my head. Good luck if you have any more questions just email me.
