Lighting for a dark look can be a struggle. Intuitively, it makes sense to shoot something that's supposed to look dark, dark - but this can lead to your audience not being able to see what's on screen - and noise! We take a look at contrast ratios and utilising a lower ISO in this video, to create a dark look that is visible, clean and controlled.
[ Ссылка ] - I shoot primarily with the Samyang VDSLR MK2 Cine Kit. In this video we used:
Samyang 24mm t/1.5 VDSLR MK2
Samyang 35mm t/1.5 VDSLR MK2
Cameras:
Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K Pro
Lights used in the video:
Nanlite Forza 720B (key light through gridded beauty dish) - [ Ссылка ]
Godox M600D (fill light bounced from large bleached muslin rag) - [ Ссылка ]
