cinematography canon t2i quality look different

Sort by date Sort by votes
I just watched the first 25 secs of each video, so im sorry if missed anything later on. But from what i saw, the first one is exposed considerably well and then graded.

The second one is overexposed in certain areas, mainly the sky and seems to have minimal grading if any.

I dont know how representative the first 25 secs of each video are as a whole but those were the main differences i saw between the vids for that duration.

thanks! yea the 2nd one was very rushed and was for a school project. I wasnt able to put the time i wanted into it. With the sky, how would i have fixed that? because then wouldnt the people be too dark?

There are several ways depending on the shot, not to mention budget and equipment.

For eg, if its just a wide establishing shot with landscape/horizon, u can use grad nd filters.

But generally, where a mix of ppl and environments are concerned, you have to make sure all the light falls within the dynamic range of ur camera. This can mean lighting ur actors bright enough to be able to expose for them and the sky behind them. Or stopping the light coming in thru ur windows so that they (the windows) dont blow out while ur exposing for the actors.

I recommend reading articles in the american cinematographer or just watching some behind the scenes of outdoor photoshoots. Basically, just whatever you can find that would teach you abt lighting.
