The clapboard also gives an indication of the basic lighting conditions the scene is supposed to have. The 2AC can choose between "interior" and "exterior", and "day" and "night".  This is the only part of the clapboard which doesn't actually indicate the conditions ''as they are'', but actually the conditions ''as they're supposed to be'' in the final product.  Thus, a shot filmed on an exterior location at noon could be marked with "EXT/NIGHT", if the director of photography is shooting "day for night".

If the scene being shot is one shot by, or having later composition by, the [[visual effect]]s department, the clapper will be given a code corresponding to a schedule worked out by the [[production supervisor]] or her staff. In this way, the visual effects department can better keep track of what [[special effect]] shot goes with which [[principal photography]] shot.
