Thank you. So, basically warm lighting for key light and cold lighting for the background? or the opposite? or depends.

Hey guys, So, I was wondering if you can achieve the teal and orange look by mixing the light temperature (3200k and 5000k) or do all of the color temperature have to be the same and you tweak it in post production (editing). Or can you do either? What is the best option? Thank you!

Correct me if I understood something wrong 1. Your DIT sets up your monitors 2. On set, you record it both in log or RAW AND in Rec.709 version as a reference. You use the DSC chart and face? (what do you mean by that) to create a LUT in post production (when editing). Correct? Forgive me if I'm saying something stupid, I'm still a beginner.

Ah! Alright! Do you also do the SMPTE color bars on the screen prior to shooting? and then the DSC chart?

Hey there Cinematographers, You need to know that I'm currently not shooting anything...I'm just asking out of mere curiosity. When you shoot RAW, the image contains metadata on what to do in post production, but how can you then see on set if the screen displays how the scene is supposed to be when with RAW everything is low in contrast and saturation? Do you first do it with SMPTE color bars and then with DSC color chart? (but even then, how can you actually see if it's correct because of the low contrast, etc?) Do you have to do the SMPTE color bar test on every set before you shoot? What's your procedure? For those of you who have answered me before, this might be redundant because I have kind of asked something similar in the last post, but I would like to have it further clarified ? So, if you are the same person answering this then THANK YOU! Really appreciate it! The same goes to new people. Looking forward to your response. Peace.

Thank you very much! If I have more questions then I'll ask ?

Ah! Ok! Now, I get it. Is this how you actually achieve a certain look? Do you usually do it with the camera setting or rather using lights to achieve certain looks? I guess when you are shooting RAW, the best way is to do it with lights and doing it in post production (davinci resolve) right? For me, I will buy a dslr camera in summer...If I want to achieve a certain look...do I rather go for the settings in the camera itself or do I do it with lights?

I'm a bit confused...I thought the higher the K number, the cooler the color? But you are saying that the higher you set your K number on your camera, the warmer the look?

Awesome! Thank you! Does this actually mean that when you do the DSC Chart, that THAT equals white balancing the scene as well? What is a typical work flow when shooting a scene? What are the steps that you always take? 1. White balancing 2. Look? 3. Framing...I don't know. Would love to hear it from you. Seriously, thank you so much for taking your time to always answer in a detailed way. It's amazing!

Interesting... Thank you!

Thank you so much for this! Was really helpful!

Wow, first of all, thank you very much for taking your time to answer me in a VERY detailed way. I really appreciate it. So, all in all, you just use ONE chart. What about SMPTE and gray card? Do you also use that? How do you go about filming when you want to achieve a certain look? Do you first WB the your camera and THEN you go for the desired look? Or does the white balance even matter if you are going for a certain look? Thank you so much!!

Hey there Cinematographers, I'm not working with films or anything like that. I'm a complete beginner, but despite that, I'm really interested in the topic and how everything works. I'm currently reading the book "cinematography: theory and practice".. I'm at the measurement part and I just have some questions regarding that. Do you use everything what I mentioned in the TITLE one after the other? Or do you just pick one? Which ones are a MUST USE when working on a set? Or it depends? If yes, then what does it depend on? Each camera has its on gamut range right? (CIE Diagram) Does this also mean that when using these charts that it will look different on each camera? When you go for a certain look (let's say you go for the classic teal-orange look like in Transformers) What are the steps going about that? First you white balance it with the charts (which charts exactly?)? Do you also have to do it when shooting RAW? Once everything is set (which I guess is more than white balancing right? concerning the camera settings) then you go for the look you want? I guess when you are shooting RAW, the main components to achieve the look is then with lighting and post production (davinci resolve, for instance). If for instance, you switch places to a darker area. Do you have to repeat the entire process with calibration (with the charts) once you have already done that on the same day? What are the typical measurements that you go about on a set? Thank you so much for taking your time to answer all of these questions. I will probably have more questions in the future because I'm only half way through the book. Looking forward to your answers!
