week10 (23/04/2009)

We were talking about things,how to make professional video:
1. usually shot on film (look like a film)
2. filters (noise,grain, less colour saturation)
Lighting:
1. softened light: -nylons on the lens (not vaseline) - reflective light (control it)
2. shoot at lower video level (brightness & contrast)
3. dreamy: higher level (over expose)
4. model your lights (to the actor's face)
Editing tricks:
Slow down the footage by 5% - make un-noticeably movie (sounds)
Sets: Reduce
1. clutter (too much staff)
2. colours (bright colours)
Planning for editing: Think layers
Finally then the camera set up for the dark: Iris, Gain & then we checked out how the lamps works.
