    what do you need to make a video cinematic ?

      You guys should try polarized sunglasses. Its freaking amazing. Same thing happens when I rotate my glasses in front of my face. It changes the light reflections. Also weirdly makes some screens go black if turned at a certain angle.

    What polarize filters are basically doing is canceling de electric field in certain directions. When the wave is traveling through space or a medium the polarization could be linear, circular, etc so they are just canceling a certain amount of the E field. That’s why it reduces glare
