Aspect of film - making video look like film

What about video?

Launch video perhaps to survive - companies work to make TV documentary or advertising. Perhaps you're a student filmmaker or an avid amateur. Regardless of what can be done with video is the probability that you want to make films - if only by friends and family. Are you new to video production, as the idea of the "film look" - i.e. that the appearance of the film video will appear new for you. If you in the idea of the appearance of the new film, or simply to know that look like movie video to want to do it then try a difficult task and discover there is to do, to make your video look like it was shot on celluloid.

Look for a ' film - like ' look!

The term 'Film look', or filmize (as called Wikepdia) is a generic term that has been applied to several, some physical, some chemical and now many digital. Celluloid (film) is expensive, wasteful and takes much time developing - not to mention risk - to destroy, material is very easy! Tape is cheap and easy to use and the quality of video cameras has greatly improved in recent years. With the advent of digital video, which allows almost were analog video cameras camera in picture quality acceptable generally unsuitable for the film as the look, if they were of high end professional character. Now with DV, HD and HDV to be easier that never make a film of high quality, that looks like the film.

DV, high definition and "Look cinema"

It is important to realize that the upper Chamber's quality, that you, better your filmized part session appears. Not only the quality of the camera is important, but the format is also used. DV or digital video is low quality format, that should be used. Ideally shoot in HDV - a very compressed version of high definition DV or a variant of professional HD.

That is exactly what creates a "does aspect of film ' in the video?"

Has the theatre recently been? The film looks very different than raw digital video. There are several reasons but the most basic and obvious concepts are different types of film and video camera, and even more important is that this film was a chemical medium of digital video / magnetic supports. The chemical nature of the celluloid makes sure that it draws color similar to how our eyes, has a reach much higher brightness and shadows not hard and mirror clip. Digital video stores image data in a finite field and linear brightness - very different from how sees the human eye. Movement varies also with much less motion blur within an image.

The legacy mal of analog video: interlaced (interlaced)

A tell tale sign video is how irregular sawtooth edges, which are produced by the process of interlacing. In summary, interlaced (interlaced) referred to the display of the video image. Each frame is divided into odd and even lines, and these are recorded and displayed, recorded from the period to an increase in the movement. This means that images have higher resolution and movies have more movement (although less resolution).

Create a look of authentic film requires the use of a 24 p or other camera progressive format or a deinterlacer interlacing of progressive video (or a single frame). This progressive frame is not a function of motion artifacts, caused by interlaced (interlaced) assumes that there is good was deinterlacing has.

Color grading / classification

Much about the film look comes from classification / colorising. Video gives an appearance of film more using the gamma and contrast settings. The most common way to give one film more as a focus the image that you want to use a Curves tool, a gentle curve to create s. The s curve simulates the way film shine - non-linear way - reacts in comparison with the video of straight it.

One down, with video of excessively bright and saturated look is used for color correction. Color correction is also used, often helps the piece - styling, film like look and often very complicated film lighting video camera where bases is the exhibition.

Material Flash file and synchronization of color - in the laboratory of development that takes place after recording - can easily be simulated in software and carry a huge amount, what unconsciously as a movie, the majority of viewers to recognize.
