Hugo Miro Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Hello, As I always say, sorry for my poor english… This summer I have a short film in outside location (forest) as director of photography. We most probably will use Panasonic AG-HVX200E. I would have preferred film in autumn/winter to get a softer look like “The Village” and not have problems with contrast but the dates are a imposition. And I have some doubts… At first, I will put aperture as open as possible, with the help of camera’s ND (1/8 reduces 3 stops and 1/64 6 stops, right?) or ND filters to have more control. I would also use a polarizing filter but, how true is that it ruins the image if there is movement? Because will be a lot of handheld camera… Another thing. I want to conceal the appearance of the video as far as possible. I thought about lowering the detail in camera. Is better use a diffusor filter like black promist 1/8? I remember that I could not change settings like chroma level or color temp in camera with preset balance (you could change settings, but did not apply). I forgot if this affect to gamma too. Things like chroma I don’t care (postproduction is my friend) but obviously, is imperative that I can choose the gamma. I can’t do my own daylight balance and stored in memory because I will not have ligths. And I think that's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugo Miro Posted June 10, 2010 Author Share Posted June 10, 2010 Finally, do you have any advice for the exposition? I will not have waveform monitor or something and I will have to follow my instinct… Sorry for write again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
