Video Lighting Basics - Three Point Lightingby videomaker241,211 views
Zander, you had mentioned that with gain, a person can manually adjust their volume with certain cameras. Well, I have that certain kind of camera. What do you recommend putting the Low, Medium, and High volumes on respectively? Because I must admit, I have filmed things lately with high gain and my work has come out a little grainy. With that said, is there any way to fix the graininess in post-production with Final Cut Pro 7?

@ultimatewriter Hi there :) Good question! I think there is a filter that can reduce grain/noise on your footage, but it's best to avoid getting in that situation in the first place. Basically, whenever you can, use the lowest gain setting possible - increase the light in the scene if necessary. Obviously sometimes it's not always possible so you have to resort to higher levels of gain but as a general rule - less gain = less grain. Thanks for the support & hope that helps :) x

@REELOnlineFilmSchool Thank you for your help. However, the fact is, it has been tough to avoid the situation since being a videographer, a good portion of the events I shoot are in low lighting to no lighting at all. I could use on-camera lighting, but I don't want to A.) blind the people I'm filming and B.) be so noticed during the event that I really stand out. Bottom line, my clients pay me to capture the event while being "stealthy." So is there a special lens that you could recommend?

@ultimatewriter Good question. You can get "faster" lenses for lower light situations, but they are generally used on film (for cost and camera compatibility reasons). If you're using gain you're on a digital camera of some sort which already have very fast lenses (designed for documentaries etc). Sadly there is no way around it, too much gain will make your image noisy.

@ultimatewriter the best thing to do would be to explain to your client that the situation you're in is too dark for the camera's capabilities. Chances are they'll be sympathetic. If not, then you should warn them that the footage you turn in could be noisy, underexposed or both. Then it's their call. You've been professional and covered yourself and they don't have a leg to stand on if the footage looks awful.

@grahamvideo100 I'm not entirely sure Graham, I've had a quick look into it and you might need to purchase a "heads cleaning tape" - I hope this helps, sorry I couldn't give you a more definitive solution. I'm sure you'll be able to find the answer on a forum somewhere - there are a lot of people out there who have probably had the same problem as you :)
