Depending on the recorded image you have to change the gamma, but
do not go above 1.5 Gamma. For black backgrounds, it may help to
change the gamma to 0.8.
To create better color, raise the saturation. Do not go higher than 26.
Post production have more possibilities to do color correction.
After finishing your white balance adjustments, save this as a LUT file
with the project’s name. You can easily load this LUT again. You just
have to control the saturation again.
The Camera and the Control Unit are now ready to shoot !!!
Image Control:
->
Control the whole image. Remember, you shooting
digital! That means: Soft lighting. The image is supposed to be lit within
5 T-stops. If the high lights are too burning then there will be no detail.
->
Always move the cursor over the whole image and check the RGB
values. If they are all 255, then this area is burning and has no details.
If they are all 0 then there is no information at all, and the post will not
have the chance to do anything with it.
->
If you see burning areas, or areas in black without any values, tell
it to the DoP and Director. It is very important , that you support them,
because the DoP may light for Film.
