3. What are china balls, duvetyne and blackwrap used for when lighting?
You can create softer lights by using a diffuser or bouncing your lights off of a bounce card instead of shining it directly onto your subject. You can use flags to shape your light to prevent spill and create harsher shadows on your subject. You can use flags to cut down on light that is bouncing off of your environment onto your subject, and it helps create contrast. This can be done with soft or hard lights. China balls help disperse light throughout your room, creating good ambient lighting. Blackwrap is an aluminum foil matte black material which is used to block out light, similar to a mini flag. it's useful because it can be shaped to fit any nook or cranny of a light source to prevent leaks, and it's heat resistance makes it safe to have close to lights. Duvetyne is used for a similar reason, as it absorbs light and controls spill.
