I am planning to start a project in super 16 and complete the project in either standard or high definition video. I have a question on which I am receiving conflicting advice. What information will I have on the film that I will lose due to the transfer? In particular, will I lose contrast latitude? My understanding is that one of the reasons people shoot film is to maintain contrast latitude when the film is televised, but someone has suggested that this is wrong. If there is a loss in latitude, does this mean that when we are shooting the film we have to gear the lighting to the contrast latitude of video? Thanks for help on this question.
