So, my settings are pretty straight forward. I mostly film in 60 fps, so my shutter speed is at 1/125. I always keep my aperture at f/2.0 because I mostly use the canon ef 50mm and ef-m 22mm lenses. I try to keep the ISO as low as possible, but because the light that my softbox is putting out isn't enough, I always have it between 400 and 800. I wouldn't go above 800 with a canon m50. White balance is on 5600k. I use the neutral image preset, but with the contrast and saturation settings all the way to the left, I think, thats -4 for both. In resolve, I always just use a free lut by the RU-vidr "Joris Hermans" he released about 2 years ago. Just type in "joris hermans free lut m50" to find it. I guess that's it, but if you have more questions, just ask me!
@@J.K.productionsDE Great I actually have the same camera and also efm 22mm lens. Is there a reason you shoot at 60fps?. I'm a total beginner but thought that you get a more cinemstic look shooting at 25 fps (I am in Ireland and use PAL) I also had a look for Joris' free LUT but it seems it's not available anymore :(
When shooting things like this video, I use 60fps to have some room for slow motion (40% speed). But other than that, for films, interviews or anything else, I use 24, or 25, fps. Also, it doesn't matter if you shoot in pal or NTSC: modern screens and editing softwares can handle everything. I shoot in 24 or 60, even though I'm from Germany, where 25/50 is standard.
I like the whole concept of basing the movie off of a quote. I also like how the shots feel like they build up and make the repetition of the books feel more impactful. The only thing that I think could be improved was the story itself being slightly more varied and show how much his summer was repetitive and monotonous. Overall, this short film is excellently shot and sends a very clear message. Good job!!
I love comments like this! Thanks for writing such a long one. It means a lot! I also thought that it is a bit boring... but it is my first one and I will learn from the mistakes I made.
