How to make a boring studio AESTHETIC | 3 Cinematic Techniques

Learn cinematic techniques that will transform your boring film location into a fun and aesthetic film set.
Interviews specifically are always known to be complicated because most times you have to find a way to create aesthetic talking heads and keep the story appealing to the viewers since A Roll is literally someone telling their story. Sometimes you may not get the best location that is going to add a level of "CINEMATIC" to your project and it may be various reasons why. But you still have to learn how to create something magical with the most mundane film locations and add spice to the interview or overall project.
In this video I wanted to show you all how I turned a boring location with just a cyclorama into visually stunning and aesthetically pleasing set using 3 cinematic techniques that will help level up this transformation. Doesn't have to be for just interviews, these techniques apply to everything! Anytime you see a location that needs fixing, apply these.
There are many things to look for when trying to creatively enhance a set, especially if you don't have a set designer.
00:00 - Intro
00:57 - Texture (Texture always adds to a background or even foreground. It gives a sense of environment and helps place people at a time).
02:27 - Lighting ( lighting helps the story evolve and evokes emotion. )
06:04 - Color (Color enhances the mood )
07:55 - ( Post Production enhancements)
8:55 - (What I would have Changed)
10:15 - Outro

Some techniques you use I also employ, but there is so much more info you give and “light” shed on this topic that I absolutely love. Please continue to make more content like this. I absolutely love it.

The science and math in this photography conversation is soo interesting. I love to hear you using all of the tech terms. This was helpful because my lighting is only ideal when I record in the daytime when the sun is out. I haven't invested in extra lighting to light me and my background when I record after the sun goes down. After this video, I will add extra lighting to my list to buy.💡

💡 Something else i like to utilize when working with blank canvases, especially when the floor sq.-footage is big enough to accommodate more than 9 Greyhound buses, is cast color pools with pocket projectors, hiding them from view with props and/or additional thin sheeting that i put plexi-rods through to make them appear as softly illuminated mini-hills. [06:52] Why the "cheese" on that slapped-together, non-slapping faux-burger, look like a Simpsons Edition of Papermate whiteout? Then the tomato looks like a frozen puck of the kool-aid 😆 An amazing crew & an amazing industry pillar w/ her family, on set, complimenting each others work. Magnifique!

Nice video like usual. I have been watching a few videos on book lights. Can't wait to try it one day. What white balance did you have your camera set to? With the first interview you went with really warm look, what white balance did you go with in camera?

@BrittneyJanae 2 ай бұрын

So the lights were tungsten so probably around 4300 so my camera white balance could have been at 5000 to not have it too warm and crazy since the I bleached already made it warm, her skin tone and dress.

All photography studio flashes I've used had a dimmable modeling light. Normally it has two modes full power or proportional to the flashpower which means dimming. So put it in proportional and turn the power down and you have dimming.

Good to know!! We’re cinematographers and not photographers lol but we asked them and that’s what they gave us and we asked if they dimmed.

@BrittneyJanae 2 ай бұрын

I do not but basically I created a color matte, then used the oval pen tool to create a circle. I feathered it as much as I could to make it look real. Then I used overlay from the blending options to blend it into the image so it looks real.

@BrittneyJanae 2 ай бұрын

so for me even though we rent gear I always bring the essentials. I bring my sticks, I always have some expendables, extra batteries, I even sometimes bring extra lighting just in case . Like at least one powerful light that I may own, and then I'll bring like practical lights if I need them like bulbs or small mc-4 lights. I try not to go crazy but if I realize there we could have had one extra light I got that you know?

@BrittneyJanae 2 ай бұрын

Thanks for your input. While I don’t agree I appreciate it. Most people always go for a lighter look because they are scared of mood. Being a parent is not always light, it takes a lot. The intricacies of it can be a lot. So I actually think it was a perfect mood to show that. Not fun at all. All my levels were correct. But again appreciate you.
