After Midnight

This is a test short film I created. The test was framing for a 2:40:1 aspect ratio and for my canon 7D. This was shot and edited by me (I am also the only cast member). I hate acting in my own films, so this is kind of awkward. Oh well, enjoy.

what's your setting for aperture, iso and shutter speed?

[rockfilmers]

@KaratePilz I don't remember my shutter speed, but I think it was around 1000. I didn't have any ND or polarizers at the time. My ISO was always as low as possible (100) and the Aperture was anywhere from f3.5 to f5.6. Basically, the wide angle shots where all f3.5 and the close ups where around f5.6.

Hey, doesn't the canon 7d only offer 3:4 aspect ratio? how did you make it 2:40:1.

thanks

@tosb38

The 7D takes stills in 3:4, but video is shot at 16:9 and 4:3. I shot this at 16:9 but framed everything for 2:40:1. In vegas, I cropped all my clips from 1920x1080 to 1920x800 and all the 1280x720 to 1280x534. Some people thinkink cropping is a bad idea because you throw pixels away, but thats what 2:40:1 movies do on tv anyway. I hope that helps.
