That's cool if that's what you like. It IS 50% overexposed though. Some photographers meter for 50% gray, most for 60% gray.
You're metered for 26%. Cool, if that's what you like.
Only a complete jealous tard would waste any time trying to explain this to a producer with skills far beyond your wildest dreams. 50% exposure if only appropriate for a tan model on a 50% grey background, or a closeup showing only skin. I guess you didn't see the white backgrounds. If you are using auto camera metering you know nothing about photography and you only "expose" your ineptitude. Pros use something called a "light meter" look it up in your photo instruction booklet and maybe one day you will be successful.
