"3 layers of storytelling" project

 IADT cinematography teacher Matt Skinner giving a workshop to Hungarian cinematography students on top lighting as a test teaching in the "3 layers of storytelling" project. BFM is one of the three partners in the cinematography curriculum development strand of the project supported by the Erasmus + scheme and will also participate in the future test trainings. 
Note the light meter in Matt Skinner's hand - an essential tool for every professional cinematographer in the past, present and future, regardless of the shooting medium . 
Can you explain, why does a cinematographer need a light meter in the era of histograms?
