should we be exposing by 1/2 to 2/3 of a stop if using 50d in normal daylight to reduce grain?

true, wide angle of course, i meant open scenery

slick and smooth

We're wondering how loud this thing is, do you think a studio mic that is 10-15 feet away will catch the noise from the camera if it makes any?

We're shooting a film in the desert on an arri sr2, We're looking at renting a 16mm and 25mm zeiss prime, we need a lens that will be able to shoot very wide open shots from far away and we're looking for some ideas, would any of those two do the trick? below is an idea of the distances and frames we'll be shooting

We can definitely use filters, we're not the most experienced with film, so keeping the look of the shots constant is very important for us, as for lighting, everything will be shot during the day with the sun directly above. Only a few shots will be in the morning and at night. I guess a better way of asking the question would most likely be should we use 50D or 100-200T with ND filters? For the look, we want a good amount of color saturation, but we mainly want to keep the colors pretty realistic. Since we're shooting a lot of wide open shots with mountains and scenery, it's important to get the reds/oranges but keep the beige sand looking real.

Hey, I'm a newb to the forum. I'm shooting on an arri sr2 and I'm looking for a 16mm stock that will work in the desert, I was thinking maybe 50D and 250D, I'd rather not use filters so I don't think tungsten will be an option also should I be over-exposing by 2/3 of a stop to reduce grain? and print down during development? side note: any idea how loud the SR2 is while filming?
