If I am shooting a scene in which there are fairly dark skinned people 
(African Americans, people with deep tans) what do I do to get their faces 
not to block up? I don't have to be perfect, but will one stop more exposure 
be a good start? Two?
I realize there are lots of variables, including skin color, but I need some 
guidance--transparency film.
Thanks,
Martin
