Originally posted by madhurvyas Lenses used are DA*16-50, Da300, A300, A35-105. normal lenshood which came with lens. Settings used: Color Natural, shutterspeed 1/60. No PP, all color, contrast, sharpness are as captured. Light is natural in most outdoor scenes, indoor shots are with normal bulbs in umbrella lights(without umbrella), reflector was used in some places.
Good choices - the indoor scenes showed a little too much of 'being lit' for my tastes, and I liked the deliberate rule break with the Line Cross in the first interview scene with the workers boss.
I don't mind the language - When I edit I often turn the sound off and play the video, so I can see if the performers body language matches the story telling intent, and whether the pacing of the edit is too fast or slow.
There's a few spots in this one where I think the pacing is a little rushed in the edit before the music starts - I spotted the speed up of the street shots - and I would have used a focus pull from the phone to the performers face after the call ends.
Overall, the Technical Quality of the footage is exactly what I'd expect out of a K-01 with good glass - The loss of fine detail in the CoDec is something we have to put up with.
And I think I spotted some SR Jello in the shots where the character runs down stairs around 2min40s.
I'd add a battery powered Daylight (5600 - 6000 Kelvin) colour balanced lightsource, possibly in a China Ball or SoftBox to your kit, to add soft ambient light to the scenes like inside the train looking outside - that would bring the dark areas inside up brighter to match to the outdoors, without being obviously Lit.
Overall, on par with the majority of 90's and 00's company-made music videos, with a cleaner look, and equal to any Indie made one worldwide these days.
Well done.
