Absolute Brightness
“It was the first day of Travis’s trial for the first-degree murder of Leonard Pelkey, and all I could think about was how an actual courtroom looks nothing like the ones I’ve seen depicted on TV. And why was that? After twenty minutes or so, I had the answer: It’s the lighting. On TV, people get sworn in, tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth, lie, argue a case, present evidence, and give closing remarks while standing beneath fixtures designed to make them look like movie stars. What ...you get when the cameras aren’t rolling in a place like, say, Trenton, New Jersey, is lighting more cost-effective than flattering. The face of an accuser looks just as desperate as that of the accused; the color of even the brightest correctional jumpsuit seems to have been dulled down so as not to distract from the proceedings at hand; and the highlights in everyone’s hair (even those that have been chemically enhanced) lose their brilliance under the fluorescents; in short, the lighting is far from TV quality.MoreLess
