In cinematography, night-for-night filming is the practice of actually filming night scenes at night.
In the early days of cinema, before the invention of the proper lighting systems, night scenes were filmed "
day-for-night"—that is, they were filmed during the day, and the film was "corrected", either with a polarized lens on the movie camera, or via a variety of post-production
techniques. Day-for-night shooting is still used in low-budget films.
The American television producer Quinn Martin was known for heavily utilizing night-for-night filming.[1][2]
