Hey guys,
Really, really silly question here but I've been watching a fair few documentaries and BTS as I prepare to make my first short film and constantly I find crews holding these giant boards during shoots (Smaller ones in some cases). I assumed it was to do with reflecting/blocking light, but I feel that as a filmmaker I need to know a lot more about them than just guessing (Lighting is something I'm still slowly wrapping my head around!)
Sorry for a silly question, but thanks for answering
