Canon 5D3' s experience in filming micro-movies.
First, Canon Canon 5D3 shooting microfilm hardware equipment
1, tripod is extremely important. The camera frame itself is not used for moving shooting, so it is best to find a camera tripod, which can shoot shaking pictures smoothly and ensure the stability of telephoto pictures. I use a professional camera stand in Liback. The only small problem is that the camera tray is installed on the camera, and there will be ugly squeezing marks under the camera after long-term use.
2. Canon 5D3 micro-focal plane selection. Generally speaking, the most commonly used are super wide angle and telephoto, and the focal length must be fixed with a large aperture. Because 5D2 is full, you can choose according to the movie title. The recommended configuration is as follows: 10mm (or 12 mm)-24 mm ultra-wide angle 24- 105 mm aperture is better, such as 2.8 24-70 Canon Red Circle 120-500(600)mm gun barrel 50 mm F65438+. The super wide-angle and telephoto lenses I use are suitable for horses. The actual shooting proves that shooting video is completely ok, but the price is much cheaper. If you don't want to spend money on lenses, this is enough.
3, Canon 5D3 shooting microfilm focusing problem. At present, it is troublesome to use 5D2 to shoot dynamic pictures that need to follow the focus, and there is no suitable follow-up focus. The focusing damping of the camera lens is very astringent and feels bad. Of course, it is not a problem to use it occasionally. But that small LCD screen can only look at the focus. 5D2 has an HDMI interface. If the conditions are good enough, you can consider bringing a 720P display with HDMI, so that the live display will be more reliable. Of course, if you are a professional follow focus, you can look at the scales ... but ... the scales of the Canon lens are all in the lens. It's inconvenient up there
4, Canon 5D3 shooting micro-film battery problem. Canon 5D3 original battery can generally shoot two fast 4G cards intermittently, about 12 minutes (it is recommended to use a large memory card). Don't believe that you can shoot advertisements for two hours in a row, which is the theoretical maximum of direct shooting. Many times, it is still necessary to take photos, find the right focus and find the feeling of the picture. It is impossible to spend that long. Therefore, batteries are extremely important. At least three fast batteries should be prepared to ensure that there will be no problems. You can choose the battery of the vice factory, which is cheaper and has a smaller capacity. It takes about 1/4 less time than the original battery, but it should be enough.
5. Canon 5D3 shoots micro movies. If you often shoot friends with city propaganda films or scenery films, you will definitely shoot in a fixed frame, such as sunrise and sunset night scenes. These shots are so cool with 5D2. On the one hand, the resolution is super cool, and there is huge room for later adjustment. On the other hand, the shutter time can be put very slowly, and the effect of night scene, especially traffic flow, is excellent. The slow door can greatly reduce the irritability of the picture, and the picture looks particularly clean and beautiful. It is especially recommended to buy a timer shutter handle, which can set the interval of automatic shooting.
6. Prepare enough color filters. (ND) UV is essential, and the lens must be well protected, and enough gray film should be taken, because the ISO 100 aperture will receive 8- 1 1 in the midday sun, and the video can't be shuttered too fast (it will cause insufficient motion blur, leading to a sense of jitter in playback), so the shallow depth of field effect you want is gone. It's better to prepare ND0.3 0.6 0.9 1.2. Commonly used may be 0.6 and 0.9.
7, Canon 5D3 shooting microfilm viewfinder, ultra-low ultra-high position wide-angle If there is no external viewfinder, it is fatal.
Second, Precautions for Canon 5D3 filming micro-movies
1 and Canon 5D3 LCD screens are lit, because don't be deceived by the explosion of the screen. Looking at it later, there is no exposure transition at all. Take a photo when you are uncertain, and expose it with the photo. It can't be wrong. Afraid of exposure transition, as a result, the aperture is closed too tightly, resulting in some pictures being very gray and dark. After revision, 5D2 mov is not red one's RAW after all, and there is not much space. So try to shoot as accurately as possible in the early stage.
2. Canon 5D3 shooting micro-movies is not suitable for shooting large-scale moving pictures. The existence of jelly effect makes the types of films that 5D2 can shoot a little limited, and the most suitable ones are fixed and slow-motion scenes. If you need a lot of follow-up shots and move quickly, the linear objects in the picture will be tilted and deformed. Of course, if you do, it's okay to get used to it.
3. Because the circuit processing of moire fringe is not good, avoid shooting a large number of horizontal stripes. There will be color interference at the junction of black and white, which will greatly affect the picture quality. This is a common problem in wide-angle situations. Telefocus is unlikely because the background is more virtual.
4. If you have many dialogue storylines that need to be broadcast on TV, you should use them with caution. If you want to broadcast a movie (25PS) on domestic TV, you will inevitably encounter various conversion problems. There are two methods, one is to change 30FPS into 25PS by transplantation, and the overall length remains unchanged. The problem is that the picture is blurred, which is highly recommended. Another way is to treat the material 30FPS as 25FPS, because there are 5 more frames per second, so it feels a bit slow, which is also the reason why the audio is not synchronized. If you insist on synchronization, the voice will change tone. Therefore, friends who are looking forward to making movies with 5D2 need to use it carefully. At present, only bios supporting 24P or 25P can be used for work. At present, we can only shoot advertisements, special topics and scenery films that are not sensitive to counterpart synchronization.
5. When shooting micro movies, Canon 5D3 should pay attention to the fact that the style is best set reliably and the saturation is reduced. So it won't overflow on TV.
6. Canon 5D3 shoots a micro movie about stroboscopic: voltage (generator car); The shutter speed with tungsten lamp or kino is one fiftieth of a second.
Canon 5D3 video shooting is powerful.
Canon 5D3 has been at the forefront of the market since its listing, and has won the attention of many consumers with its excellent performance configuration and fashionable and professional appearance. The camera is not only excellent in image quality, but also very powerful in video shooting. It uses 22.3 million pixels and is equipped with DIGIC 5+ image processor. The overall performance of the whole machine is very strong, which is a good SLR for photographers! It's worth starting with. At present, Canon 5D3 offers 14200 yuan in the business "Shenyang Huida Digital".
In terms of appearance, EOS 5D Mark III still takes the operability of functions as the primary consideration as the main design line, and there is not much design change compared with the previous generation. The only change is that it adopts the same mode dial lock design as the 60D and EOS 5 fuselage, and the switch is also moved to the rear of the left dial wheel, and the left dial wheel is added with a dial lock, returning to the operation mode of the 5D era. Compared with the previous generation product 5D2, the grip is better, and the right hand can easily find the buttons to set. The back is equipped with a 3.2-inch LCD screen with a color of 1.04 million. The learning and playback effect is excellent, and it is no exaggeration. In terms of fuselage interface, 5D Mark III is considered comprehensively. There is an earphone interface for monitoring during video shooting, and a PC terminal interface for connecting the flash when shooting in the shed. A quasi-professional fuselage, there should be several commercial ones, and the interface of the remote control is naturally indispensable. The battery of EOS 5D Mark III still uses LP-E6 lithium battery. This lithium battery with a capacity of 1800mAh can actually take 850-950 photos when fully charged.
In terms of functional configuration, although EOS 5D Mark III adopts a brand-new 22.3 megapixel 36×24mm photosensitive element, the number of pixels has not increased significantly. In fact, the original 5D2 output frame has been used for most of it. 5D3 also applied a 6 1 point autofocus system on 1D, including 4 1 cross focus points. Compared with the previous generation 5D2 9-focal and central cross-focal AF systems, the progress is still very obvious. The sensitivity range of ISO 100-25600 can be extended to 50- 102400. When shooting video, ISO 100- 12800 can be extended to 100-25600, and the available sensitivity even reaches the amazing ISO3200, which is still very worthwhile. Once upon a time, most users were used to the video shooting function called DSLR chicken rib function, but since 5D2, many artists began to use it to create, and many video shooting extension devices came into being. In short, this function was taken off by Canon. In terms of continuous shooting ability, 5D3 has achieved the highest speed of about 6 frames per second, which is also very commendable. With such high pixels and such a large amount of information processing, the new image processing chip has been the best proof.
How to make a movie with Canon 5D3?
① Picture proportion
As you can see, I added a matte, and the effect of 16:9 is much better than that of 4:3, but the ultra-wide screen of 2 1:9(2.35: 1) creates a cinematic feeling. If you don't have the option of 2 1:9(2.35: 1), you can cut it yourself. Of course, it is directly related to the artistic conception of your shooting. I'm just saying that most of them can use the ratio of 2 1:9(2.35: 1), but some of them are not necessarily suitable. At the French Film Festival, there was a famous director who created different atmosphere with different screen ratios (including 1: 1).
② color matching
The adjustment of brightness, contrast, saturation and color temperature is very important. Few people shoot the original film without tuning (the requirements for the subject and camera are too high, except for the preset tuning of Canon, which belongs to the immediate post). Commonly used cold and warm colors can bring out many different feelings, and lightness can bring out dim and high-key effects. Using different colors according to the subject and the artistic conception you want to express can render the film effect. Of course, it is also a good way to create an atmosphere by removing some colors and reducing saturation. In addition, remember to pay attention to highlights and shadows. Learn to look at the histogram, with a little feeling, it will be different.
(3) The focal length is the most important point. Skilled focusing can cause visual impact. The extreme clarity of macro gives people comfort, and the blurred background makes people pay attention to the subject unconsciously, which is also the advantage of SLR camera compared with traditional mobile phone photography (the flexibility of dual-camera mobile phone number is still not as good as that of SLR). On the contrary, virtual focus will give people a hazy feeling.
(4) Angle, composition and creativity.
I believe this is a cliche. I repeat, I just regard this as a hobby and want to change careers, but I haven't had a chance to study hard yet. In order to avoid the gods spraying me, I won't go into details here. Anyway, do what you feel. As for creativity, I'm not talking about creativity, such as expressing one thing with minimalist things? Simulate someone's/something's/animal's perspective? have much/many ...
