film look on my jvc gy-hd 100u

[Phil Balsdon]

I use “Truecolor” settings from Paul Ciccone available here:

For bright contrasty sunlight I have one of my user buttons set to +2 Black Stretch and always expose for highlights.

The ability of the JVC HD cameras to shoot true progressive scan (in a similar way to film frame capture) is an asset.

That said “Film Look” doesn’t come from camera settings alone, often a “Film Look” setting in a camera is set to create a flat contrast image so it can be manipulated in post production. This is because of the inability of video camera chips to resolve the high contrast capabilities of film.

Most of the film look effect is created with good lighting and lens selection and settings (f stop and focal length).
