    Do movie producers still say lights, camera, and action when it is a dark scene?

    Question #34038. Asked by PUZZLER. (May 20 03 5:30 PM)


    Norwich

    		Though my knowledge of film-making is almost non-existent, I do know that you would need a certain amount of light - Unless the scene was TOTALLY dark.

    Have you noticed in films and on television, in a bedroom scene, when somebody switches off the light, you can still see the bedroom quite well?

    		'lights' doesn't just mean 'turn on all the lights' - it means set the lights, maybe very many of them, at their various brightness levels as specified for that scene. So it could mean, turn them all off, if that is the setting required :-)

    I'm trying to find the titles and author of two picture books in a series. They were beautifully drawn, about a blond girl who was the rightful queen that was taken over by a very evil man in black. The girl wore her hair in Swedish-like braids over her head. In one scene, she stands up on a table and confronts the evil man. In another scene, a friend lights himself on fire and throws himself from a tower to save her. Can anyone help me?

    Who is usually paid the most, movie producers, movie directors, or movie screenwriters?
