DAY 4 NIGHT LUTS
 |
If you are not familiar with the terminology, "day after night" simply refers to a production and post-processing process that processes the footage during the day as if it were recorded at night Logistically, night scenes can be very costly and challenging, which is why some filmmakers choose to shoot some (or all) of their night scenes during the day.
Day for night is still an extremely relevant option when it comes to crafting night scenes. While it may be tempting to simply grab an A7S and shoot in actual moonlight, doing so isn’t always ideal. For starters, there’s something to be said about shooting during the day and keeping your cast/crew happy. But even on a technical level, you can often achieve superior results by shooting proper day for night footage, as opposed to bumping up your ISO to ridiculous levels… In my opinion at least. With day for night you don’t need to worry about excess noise/grain in your footage, your colors won’t look overly synthetic, and you may have access to locations that would otherwise be inaccessible at night.There’s a time and a place to shoot day for night, just as there’s a time and place to use a high sensitivity camera at night. Neither option is a substitute for actually shooting at night with proper lighting setups, but when you’re in a pinch it’s always best to know your options
