In class Feb. 14, we did a walking/shooting field trip to the Highline. Shooting outdoors in daylight, students set their digital cameras to Tungsten White Balance and then used corrective gel filters to achieve accurate colors. (This was done to immediately demonstrate the effect these filters would have if one was shooting tungsten film outdoors- a film assignment is coming up next).
Here is a chart that explains filter usage in detail. This will be especially useful when shooting film. For example, if you have a roll of Tungsten Film and want to shoot half of it indoors and half of it outdoors, using a color temperature meter, gel filters and this chart, you would be able to achieve accurate white balance in all lighting situations:
