Day for Night, a delightful film done by Francois Truffaut back in 1973, showed, in great detail, how directors, back then, turned day into night using neutral density filters to accomplish the task at hand as the tech, back in 1973, obviously could not film scenes in near darkness in any way, shape or fashion, something all together different when compared to today's rapidly evolvng video technology.
As proof, the short clip seen above, shows stills and video using nothing but moonlight, in conjunction with the whiteness of snow, to illuminate the work in the piece, something Truffaut would have used to great effect, if this tech had been around for him to use back in the day. :)

If you get a chance, watch this film as it's a gem.
