Fantastic stuff! This is very engaging because it’s not just about lighting etc, in a studio, but has a context – you explain your choices and what (in the real world) influenced them. That’s much more useful – I’m about to do an outdoor shoot with an actor and this will all be really useful in helping me plan it. Thanks for all the work you’ve done in sharing this. Top stuff.

Great stuff. I love how simple you make it. I am getting ready to do a music video and your tips will come in very handy. That 500 watt light seems to do the trick on lots of sceens. Your video instructions will help many folks. Thanks so much

Nice cinematography there!
Two questions:

how far do you go with ISO of the camera without getting noise in the image?

whats the maximum aperture you use for low light situations (f1.4? f2?)

Comment on Chia-Yu Chen Cinematography Reel v2.1 by polcan99

polcan99 — Mon, 24 Oct 2011 12:40:38 +0000

@inanimaniak Thnx! With the 7D I found ISO 1600 is the max… but if I do go to 1600 then I still make sure there is enough light to get a properly lit image at that speed. As for the aperture f1.8 is the lowest I use, beyond that the DOF is so narrow it’s hard to keep things in focus unless you’re doing a still shot.

Comment on Chia-Yu Chen Cinematography Reel v2.1 by inanimaniak

inanimaniak — Mon, 24 Oct 2011 12:31:16 +0000

Hey thanks for the tip. anyway do you use anykind of noise reduction in post, since an ISO at 1600 will get some noise in the picture? what about the exposure meter in the camera, do you rely on it to get the intended exposure (normaly on 0) or do you use it below or above the 0 mark? Thanks and keep going with your filmmaking tips because they are really helpfull!

Comment on Chia-Yu Chen Cinematography Reel v2.1 by polcan99

polcan99 — Mon, 24 Oct 2011 11:33:41 +0000

@inanimaniak Nope… i never use noise reduction… slight noise is okay. Nobody will notice the noise specialy if the shots look interesting. As for exposure i NEVER use the built in light meter, unless Im shooting a scene that is entirely gray. Cuz the light meter exposes shots to the mid range gray… so in a scene with a lot of contrast it doesnt know what to expose properly. So instead I judge by eye and by using the histogram. You can see how I get the perfect exposure in my EXPOSURE tut

your best light in here was exterior lighting with the girl who was wearing yellow clothes, what did you do to get this lighting outside ? Or was it just sunlight ?

I have a normal homevideo HD camera I think it’s called a DXG-595V would it be possible to connect a microphone like a singing mic through to one of those using a special cord which I have, and kind of have that as a boom mic replacement

you said that there was stuff that you didn’t like about the 7D, such as? I currently own a consumer cam and want to upgrade to a higher level camera. Any thoughts? I’ve had people recommend the 60D as well.

polcan99 — Tue, 18 Oct 2011 21:05:12 +0000

@TheAwesomeJassim I dont like the Rolling shutter, the moire problems, horrible audio… no pro audio connections or monitoring, no dedicated video out, no ability to plug it into AC outlet, you have to run it off batteries the whole time. But those are the same problems that all DSLR cameras have. Otherwise they’re great!

@polcan99 thanks for that feedback! I wasn’t expecting so much . So one could say that this is more considered a semi pro cam. Mainly due to the fact that you’ve got high image quality but all the other accessories (audio, monitoring etc) are sorely lacking…You ever use the Zoom H4N for those shoots? Or anyone that you think would be better?

@polcan99 T2i owner here, thought I would drop a tip or two. You an buy ac adapters for all eos cameras, they plug into the battery section. Also, you can use the HDMI out for video monitoring. Prices for a HDMI camera mountable monitor range from $200 (not very good) to almost $2,000, just depends on what you want/need/have. As for Awesome Jassmin, what do you want to use the camera for? The truth is, DSLR video is not for everyone/everything, it can be a pain to work with sometimes.

i have one silly question that is how many cameras are used in movies to record a normal conversation scenes like these two girls in the begining the camera views change as the other one talks,like when moving from one person to the other?

Comment on How to Light a Romantic Film Scene – Cinematography & Filmmaking Tutorial 3 by polcan99

polcan99 — Tue, 18 Oct 2011 17:24:38 +0000

@mrbinibone most of the time it’s fillmed with only 1 camera. you do a take from one angle. then u move the camera to another angle and have the actors repeat their lines, then u do it again and again untill u have all ure angles shot

@mrbinibone its actually common that you essentially record it from three takes and don’t keep moving the camera. So for an instance you place the camera towards one girl and you play out the whole convo, then move it to the other side then you have them do the conversation again from that angle. then you take a medium shot and repeat the conversation again. Obviously shot variety is nice though so some ots some close up shots. Then editing is where the magic happens
