Hey guys,
I'm starting to get into video and wish to improve my skill's, and to improve the quality of my videos.
Currently i am using a Canon HF G10 with a Rode NTG-2 and Zoom H4n to record audio. I will also be receiving a 1.1m reflector kit mid-late January.
Other equipment i have been looking at are filters. Two filters i have in mind are ND filter's and a Circular polarizing Filter. Most of my video's will be spot in either 24p or 25p and i would like a nice cinematic motion, so im amusing i would be required to shoot at 1/50th shutter speed, but i would also like to keep a shallow depth of field a majority of the time. The one i had in mind is a 58mm Hoya filter which has a knob to adjust the amount it darkens by.
The second filter, the circular polarizing filter, would be a nice addition to have better contrast between the scene and the sky, as well as for shooting near water or other reflective surfaces. Again, i was looking at the one in the Hoya Pro range for the multi-coating surface and UV case.
Would anyone here recommend or advise against getting any of the above filter, or reccomend any other types of filters to use instead? As the filters will be 58mm, they should also fit onto the lens's of my DLSR which i also look forward to.
