ABSTRACT
This mood is what you, as the shooter, must try to shape and capture with your camera. It helps provide visual depth to your picture. If you shoot an off-white subject against a white wall, there’s not much contrast-not much light and shadow-and the picture appears fl at. If you shoot somebody white against a dark background, the person stands out, and if you add background lighting to the scene, the depth increases. Because of the large sensor of DSLRs and some advanced video cameras-along with high ISO settings for DSLRs and the video camera’s comparable gain settings-they maintain a strong advantage over small chip video cameras because of the capability to shoot in natural and practical low-light situations. Fewer lights are needed on set.
