motivated lighting
When the lighting appears to come from actual sources established in the scene or sequence, such as a window or desk lamp, you can increase audience allegiance and "artistic integrity." Fantasy images? Anything goes. Quote: Shadows falling toward a lit desk lamp are a sure sign of the novice or student. - Eric Somers

silk
Diffusers of various sizes which scatter and soften artificial light or sunlight. Synthetics (which don't yellow as fast or blow the budget) have tended to replace the labor of silkworms. But large silks on exteriors (see: Butterfly) allow some air to escape, reducing the fabric's tendency to become a sail on windy days.
