Settings for video shoot like blade runner

gsilbers — Tue, 07 Nov 2017 01:03:45 GMT

Sorry for the eye catching thread name... its not exactly blade runner.. its the video of a synthezier thats called "decker;s dream" and aimed at that sound in the movie , and the video is has a cool look i'd like imitate with the Canon EOS rebel t5.. and in LA.

Im just very newbie at this. i did go through the tutorials about camera stuff.. but still, seems im a little off on what iam trying to achieve.

So any advice on camera settings to get this look

I don't do video but the shots that look like the movie have a couple things I could name from still photography.

One thing is the blacks are not deep black but rather dark grey and overall there is a low contrast washed out look. In Lightroom you could do that by setting the tone curve so it no longer starts in the bottom left corner but rather a little way up the left line. Or you could simply lift the blacks slider to clip off the blacks and lower the contrast slider.

There is also a lot of lens flare. You could make that happen by shooting directly into point light sources with a lens that doesn't have a lot of expensive anti flare coatings and without a lens hood.
