Hi I am new her. I have a lot to learn.I want to make one of my videos with black bars(top/bottom}. The only problem is it cuts off the head and some parts in the bottom. How should I shoot videos on my camera that I want to put black bars in post? I have a GH4 camera if that matters.Thank you guys

Set your camera up on a tripod and shoot a focus chart in the same place where you can edit the image. Then take your footage and apply the black bars in whatever editing software you use. Freeze the image and look to see exactly what the black bars are cutting off. Then put the tape on the viewfinder in the corresponding areas of the frame.
