Hello all,
This is my first post. I'm a student and have mainly shot digital and last week finished my first project on 16. It was stocks 7219 and 7205. I should be getting footage back by the end of the week. It was transferred best light to HDCAM.
A question I have deals with the film handling overexposure. With the HVX or EX-1 I have found myself really having a issue with clipping in EXT. shots where there is a wide spectrum of shadows and highlights and something 2 stops over can clip.
I found myself in a regular situation (no ultrabounce or HMI's) where I had a shot that was backlit and a exposure difference. Through some help from these forums I underexposed a bit but my background was 2 stops over. I have done the same with digital and always find myself clipping and needing to adjust the shot a lot in post to make it right. With film will I find 2 stops to be too much? Should I have underexposed more? I was a stop in a half under (with incident) in the shadows. Before shooting I remember my teacher saying film likes the highlights and digital sees in the shadows.
So I am just hoping to get a decent image that with some slight tweaking I will be happy.
Also what is the difference between Latitude/Dynamic range? One I hear a stock has 7 stops latitude then I heard 16 stops dynamic range. So I am a little confused.
