  1. "Seven" is not a particularly blue-ish movie to me -- sort of brownish, actually.

     

    You can cool off the image any number of ways: white balance trick, using the wrong color temp preset (I'm talking about video cameras), blue-ish filters, blue-ish lighting, timing the image in post bluer, using tungsten-balanced film stock in daylight conditions with no or only partial filter correction.

     

    So on your DVX100B, the fastest trick would be to just flip to the 3200K (tungsten) white balance preset when shooting under 5500K (daylight) illumination. If that's too blue, you could instead white balance to a warm (orange-ish) card or to a white card with a warming filter on the lens. Or use normal white balance or normal preset color and add a cooling (bluer) filter to the lens. Or shoot normal and make it bluer in post timing.

     

     

    Thank you sooo much!!!!

  2. Ok guys, please forgive my ignorance. I am a "newbie" when it comes to cinematography. I want to know the best way to achive that dismal, bluish effect you see so much in the movies. Should I use a filtered lens, or do it in post? The movie that comes to mind is Seven. I'll be using a PAN. ag-hvx100b. Thanks in adavance!!!!!
