Illumination for an interview situation / Documentary
Frage von Tini: November 2008
Hello,
I need some tips on lighting and maybe even camera settings for the lighting situation:
Interior Day / night interior Rotation period: January - March 2009 Picture: one or 2 people are talking mostly sitting on couch, etc. s.Tisch Camera 1 as the camera profile Halbtotale / medium shot / close Camera 2 as a side profile close-up camera or synonymous for Cut-Ins
Filmed on HD video, with SonyV1 / Z1 / VX or similar.
Available to light (we have s.der Uni): Sachtler Reporter 75H-75W Sachtler Reporter 650HS-650W Cosmo Light Cosmobeam-RC-80 800W Sachtler Reporter R1003H-1000W Sachtler Reporter 322HSM-300W Kobold Reporter Light Dlf200 200W Dedolight K12B Basic 100W Mistral daylight 3x2x55W Video lights Sony10/20W
What lighting is recommended? I would like for this kind of flexible and still get well-lit picture. There are so synonymous discussion that when the only documentation available light will use, if the image quality synonymous suffer. What do you this? Then again, one more so with the aperture settings / shutter speed, etc., right?
I'm really grateful for tips! tini.
Antwort von PowerMac:
For interviews, just a classic three-point lighting. How many watts is of course the ambient brightness s.den places where the interviews will be rotated.
Antwort von Tini:
Does the three illumination synonymous because when you use 2 cameras? And yes it really is, what to me appears to be too inflexible, there is not a good alternative?
Antwort von Christian Schmitt:
A well-intentioned advice: NEN thee such good camera Mans Chen and you prefer to take care of the content of the docu ...
Antwort von Tini:
That helps me not synonymous next. Finally ne mere question of money. Money has been in student productions. If what you have, say decision, then buy me one.
Antwort von PowerMac:
Who says that a cameraman with idea costs money?
Antwort von Tini:
Hmm ... because today there is still something for nothing?

You mixed with the artistic aspects. Almost every modern HD camera, a picture manage, almost everywhere is bright enough. Say in every room is the light for a bright enough picture. A bright picture with nothing but an aesthetic, or even artistic illumination to be done. When again I think you must be synonymous advise you capable people to get into the boat. Student production does not mean that there is no money and certainly not that clue None of camera work.

To have you as ignorant disclosed. There is a huge short-film and film scene in Germany, partly consisting of students who are privately or as part of university projects films. Überlicherweise nobody gets in these projects Gage. There are pros and amateurs abound, with a great idea and pay to help out. An ad in regie.de, dubbing.de or crew-united.de is very helpful.
Antwort von Tini:
Yes, that's true, s.ne synonymous Annonce I already thought, but due to the long rotation period is discarded. film funding is requested synonymous, so if it works, we will of course bring someone on board who know better.

If you have anyone (professional, amateur, student, ehem.Fotograf) can move about with your Camera Project to make you either not looking thoroughly enough / wrong or your project is simply uninteresting.
No clue what you are studying, but in addition to making movies is a passion nunmal a business. And business is not synonymous with budget and profit expectations. But you should have as much business sense to know what you can do yourself and what is not. Because if you try to do everything alone, comes only from left s.Ende crap you get (bad business) - even if you do it well.
If you really seriously think with the Camera, I can only recommend you at least a book to read about. "lighting for digital video & television" by John Jackman is a simple, hands-on instruction book. Not necessarily for someone who wants to dissolve ne Speilfilmszene, but for non-scenic suitable.
Again, if your theme / fabric is really good, you will be synonymous with camera experience someone find the enthusiasm for it and for free over the image design.
When it just for a semester project will be, you will after reading the book and with you the available technology to deliver something brauchbaes. Everything good and good luck with this!
Antwort von Tini:
Yes that's true, because thou hast recht. Like I said, I had the idea for two reasons discarded.
1st, because we are turning 3 months time and have used just a lot of work would be for someone who has no money, in addition, the rotation dates very short notice.
2nd, because the idea was, if possible with a small crew to shoot, because the issues are very personal stories of the people is perhaps too large for a crew to begin to feel unwell.
Nevertheless, it is good advice, is again umzuhören. Do everything yourself is not really well ...
Antwort von christopher:
Tini, clearly you can create something alone. You sound equipment is available to play so that you put a trial two friends in front of the camera.
Antwort von Lutz Dieckmann:
Hi, Lighting is not always easy. Two people on the couch but synonymous not really hard. With your choice of light allowed you to get loose. If you do not know how it goes, this is a different matter. Books to read to help, maybe help you light my tutorial (see signature) but in any case, what helps is TRY ;-))
But you have so much time to shooting, just to test it. Sure, but it does work is how it is.
