I'm sitting in photography class right now, and my teacher claims that half filters are used all the time in theatre, even though I'm unaware of any of their use. I'm referring to filters that are amber on top to make a sunset extra-pretty, but I don't know where they would be used onstage.
He says that they're used when taking pictures of scenes, and that they go on individual fixtures (I suppose he's just thinking of color gels).
Am I just unfamiliar with these filters, or is he making stuff up?
