Today I looked at all the footage I took from my past shoots and I have realised a problem with footage. On my camera, the shots I have taken look good but when you look at them on a editing suite, they are very grainy due to the lack of light. As I wanted dark lighting to reflect the mood of the song, I put the lights on a dark setting and didn't realise that it would affect the overall video.
I got them up on the computer and I couldn't understand what was wrong with them so I asked Tim, my teacher, and he said it was due to the focus on the camera because it has auto focused on the lightest part, therefore making the footage grainy which I do not want.
Here are some examples of what it looks like:
Also, on 29/11/14, when I filmed at the Country Park for some of the shots of Lewis running, the camera did the same and auto focused on the lightest part of the video. This happened because I filmed inside of the tunnel so it was quite dark and there was light coming from the other end, therefore making the footage grainy.
This is what happened:
Due to these problems, I have discussed with my teacher what is best to do. For the first shoot, he thought that I could possibly get away with using them if I put a filter on them or he said depending on how long the shots actually last in the video, the grain may go unnoticed. I have took his advice and I am going to see what they look like with a filter and if these aren't successful I have decided I am going to re-shoot on 5/12/14 at lunch as I do not want to risk having them such bad quality. Also, with the second set of shots, I have decided fully to re-shoot as the light is too distracting and it doesn't look good due to it being unfocused because of the light.
