Hello everyone,
I am a student filmmaker and I had a question for the more seasoned filmmakers out there. I am working on shooting my third project here at school and a reoccurring issue that seems to pop up is that during the editing stage, the look and feel that the director and I agreed upon is lost. (Color correction changes up things, use of wide masters instead the tight shots, etc.) My question would be as a cinematographer, especially a non-seasoned one, how do you deal with these issues and help the movie have one single style. Is there anything I can do in pre-pro to help save the movie?
As a cinematographer are you always scared that what you shot will be mangled in the editing stage? How do you compensate so that you still have a solid demo reel?
Thank you very much :)
