Not hoping, using false colour is just one of many tools like waveform, zebras, histogram that all allow you to judge exposure. It’s whatever tool you find best works for you, I like to use false colour because it tells me exactly what parts of the image are too dark or bright etc. and I also use histogram as well. I think having a couple of exposure tools to judge from helps you get a better informed view. If you prefer to use zebras to judge clipping parts of the image then that’s totally fine as well. Hope that helps.

​@@_jonkent Thanks, but this doesn't really answer my question. I understand exposure, that's why I mention zebras, which are the single most objective method of checking for blown highlights. I was asking about *your* method, which is not clear (sorry). You conduct tests, but the method underlying the tests is largely implicit, so the results are not entirely clear (sorry).

@ okay, sorry for the confusion. I’ll just layout my whole process: So attaching the nd filter to the lens first. Set up the scene, adjusting my lights to my liking and dial in the ratio, this is judged by eye and false colour ( I flick it on and off). I look at where the skin tone is falling (50IRE) and then the lamp (70IRE) and then the background (20ire). Once I’m happy with how the image looks and where the brightness and darkness of the image is laying out. Then I open up the nd filter and using false colour I see when something hits red. (100ire) this is where something is clipping and loosing information. That’s as far as I can push the exposure because I would be losing data in that area. My ratios are all the same so when I lower the exposure in post, it’s back to how I set it all originally. That’s my process, as I said I try to use one or two exposure tools and then just looking at the monitor to judge. Also keeping in mind how bright is my monitor. Also note that those numbers for the ire are just examples, it’s totally a creative decision, skin is normally set to 50/70 ire but again it depends on the situation and story and creative choice. Hopefully that answers your question. The red part of false colour signifies clipping just as setting the zebras to 100 would. So you could use both false Colour and zebras to be sure on clipping parts. Zebras however wouldn’t tell you what other exposure parts of the image are like false colour does, that’s why I use that, because I can judge everything in the image from black to pure white, everything in between and see where in the image those are falling. It’s definitely not “hoping” I’m not clipping.

@@_jonkent That is much clearer, thanks!

@ no problem, glad i could help 👍

Sorry you didn't enjoy, but thank you for taking the time. I'm planing on shooting a feature length version of this in the future, so if theres anything you would like to see? This short was more of a project for myself to see what i could do and the story is much bigger. ]

@_jonkent It needs a lot honestly. The beginning could be a much better intro if you showed the kids talking to the police as they're shaking and crying after being traumatized. Give the characters more depth. But that's just my opinion. Don't leave the suspenseful gaps too long. The scenes of her walking were too drawn out. Might also help to hire a more memorable detective because the actor is weak. I'm only providing feedback as a horror fan. Good luck.

@MissMadHatterLife thank you got the feedback, much appreciated 🙏

@@isaaclaing210 thanks for watching, really appreciate you taking the time 🙏 glad you enjoyed! Yeah stay tuned, more coming!

@@isaaclaing210 ah amazing, thank you so much for checking it out! Appreciate you taking the time to comment too 🙏 yeah if you watch any other videos drop a comment, would love to know your thoughts 👊

That’s awesome you want to be a director! I’m going to do a UA-cam live on my channel next month where I talk about my entire process for making short films. If you want to join be sure to subscribe, or you can leave some questions here and I’ll answer them in the live video when it drops! To get good at anything, it’s about time, practice and study. Filmmaking is the same, if you got the passion for it, just give yourself time and put all your energy into learning and practicing the craft

That’s what I’m here to do 😁

@@Tigers357 me too 😁👍

Thank you 🙏 really appreciate your feedback

Oh nice! Great shout, yeah be happy to give that a go. Stay tuned ✌️

Thank you 🙏 appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment

Also that voice could tell me what to do any day 😏

Thank you! So using after effects, you basically mask out the windows, then I had a rain layer that I placed underneath that clip. Hope that helps, let me know if there’s any other type of videos youd like to see

@@Urlovelymum thank you, glad you enjoyed 🙏🙏😁

Thank you for the very kind comment and taking the time to watch. Really appreciate the support. 🙏✌️

@@zacharysvacinak thanks for watching, really appreciate you taking the time. Glad you’re finding the videos helpful. Is there anything you would want to learn more about?

@@_jonkentJust an idea but showing how you color grade the log for the look you want would be dope/correcting the lighting. I know you did a video on the graininess in slog-3 but showing how you color grade would be cool too. Thanks, much respect.

Awesome! Thanks for the feedback, will put it on the list. I’ve got a few videos to get through at the moment, but it’s now on my list and I will definitely get to it. Will make sure to give you a shout out as well for it 👍

Thanks for watching, really appreciate you taking the time. I think you may have just signed up for my free cinematography ebook, I’ve just sent that across to you. This is the very basics, some fundamentals of what improved my own work. So please do let me know if that’s any help. Did you have anything in particular you are looking to learn?

@_jonkent yes that was me 😁thank you so much for the ebook! I was asking for the transition in the beginning, that was super cool. I'm not sure what software do you use for Post-Production but I use premiere.

@@carola.sayago you're welcome! do you mean the scroll to intro the title? so i use Premiere pro and alot of After Effects. I saw a couple of films that inspired that transition - "Mank" and "Nope". Also I'm thinking of doing my first live stream soon and doing a presentation/Q&A on everything about "making short films" pre/prod/post - would this be something you'd be interested in?

Thanks for watching, really appreciate you taking the time 🙏🙏

haha thank you. Its hard out here for filmmakers

Thanks for watching, really appreciate you taking the time 🙏

@@WHITEDIRTProductions camera is on a c-stand, shot on a wide lens, zoom out is done in post with slight rotation

@ but did you keyframe it manually or use sone sort of plug in?

@ na no plug-in, really simple key frame done manually

Haha thank you 🙏 appreciate 👊

@@joshuawilson5393 woooo let’s gooooo

Thanks for watching, really appreciate you taking the time! It all works out, got the real ones watching right now 👊✌️

@@estudiomejido8010 aw that is awesome! Music, cinema and reading are incredible things! We have that love in common. Thank you so much for the kind words, it means a lot to me. Be sure to stick around, would love to hear from you again on another video, hope I can have more positive impact for you 🙏✌️

Thank you 🙏

Thank you 🙏 that’s very kind

@@JenniferTyler-n9w haha love a good binge! Glad my film was a part of it!

So yes, it’s one of those things where life happens, I had a little boy after making it and work full time whilst trying to make videos and short films for UA-cam. I want to make the ogress feature film, I’m slowly working on a script in the background and the goal is to one day make that, document the journey and then release the film. It will happen it’s just a case of when. Thanks for the comment. Would you be interested in a part 2 or feature?

@@piusgyagenda thanks for watching and commenting. Appreciate the support 🙏
