@@BradGiannini That would be amazing. I get stuck trying to decide if I should change my ISO or Apeture for the correct exposure. And is there even a thing as "correct exposure"? Anyways thanks again for the video.
@BradGiannini2 жыл бұрын
@@vogters12345 Yeah it can be confusing - no there's no "correct exposure" really, because there's a lot of artistic freedom, but keeping the image from being too bright or too dark is generally a good idea. As far as ISO or aperture, if you want to maintain a blurry background you want to adjust ISO, but if you change ISO too much it can really degrade your image, so it's a fun game of finding the right balance. I would test the limits of your cameras usable ISO range and then keep it within there, and if it's still too dark, then aperture will be your only option. Hope that helps!

I find lighting the most overlooked asset with newbee's like me. I recently broke my bank to fix this and boy am I glad I did. Diffusers, Grid screen filters, color adjusting LED spots with grided guidance makes for LIGHT work load on camera settings. What's needed more of is my brain, logic wisdom and experience when mobile and no lighting gadgets found in a studio, all you have is your eye, knowledge and experience and maybe a lens filter or two. My biggest photo problem is the PEBCAG virus. Problem Exists Between Camera And Ground.

Awesome explanation and loved the distinction between background and foreground exposure. But what about when the key light is also brightening up the background?
@BradGiannini Жыл бұрын
Hey thanks! Well if your key is heavily hitting the background it's going to be hard to separate everything - if that's intentional then that's okay, otherwise depending on your light putting a grid on will help. As for exposure, I would still start with background practicals and lights but you may have to turn the key on as well and do both at the same time. Hope that helps!

Hi Brad! Thank you for the video. I've been getting super grainy footage/lots of noise. Do you by chance know how I can fix it using the historgram or zebra?
@BradGiannini9 ай бұрын
Hi - well most likely you're underexposed. I'm not sure what camera / settings you're using, but yeah if you keep the histogram closer to the right (a bit like the thumbnail picture of this video), you should be able to avoid most grain/noise. A common trick people use to avoid noise is to slightly overexpose footage and then bring the levels down with an editing software. If you let me know what camera / settings you're using, I'd be happy to help more!
@linangoclan9 ай бұрын
@@BradGiannini Thank you, Brad! I am using the Sony A7C II I just got recently. I am shooting in picture profile 11 with Slog 3 & S-cine tone. I’ve been messing around with the histogram and zebra but still not super confident with my footage. Is there a recommended setting you could share for this? :)
@BradGiannini9 ай бұрын
Great camera! So I know some people recommend it, but in my experience using S-Cinetone color with S-Log 3 produces some weird blocky looking stuff. I personally think either S-Cinetone gamma with S-Cinetone color or S-Log 3 with S-gamut3.cine color is the way to go. But that aside, I would probably recommend using zebras. I have a video about it that may help. But I would probably either set the zebras for your face or if you really want to make sure you avoid noise, set them just below you blow out / overexpose your footage, and then bring it back down in your editor. A lot of people will overexpose using the camera meter to +1.3 or +1.7, and that can work but it's not terribly reliable. It's counterintuitive, but the darker your scene, the more you want to overexpose it to avoid the noise. I hope that helps! @@linangoclan

Thanks a lot! Well there's a little noise but it's not too bad, this scene was bright enough to get away with it I think, but everyone's tolerance for noise is a little different! I've found with the newer Sony cameras you generally don't need to overexpose unless it's a really dark scene like night time outside, in which case it does help. I started out over exposing everything but now my favorite is only around a third of a stop over in ample lighting. This was a general guide for any profile, I made a video specifically about low light for really dark scenes with the a7s3, you should check it out!

Really hard to say because it depends on your camera settings and the strength of your key light. I usually keep my a7siii at 640 ISO and at 1.8 aperture.
