Sensor Size Excercise – Production Reflection

On Saturday I shot my sensor size experiment in my lounge room using the Canon 5D and the Sony Z7. I chose an f.stop of 4 as I didn’t a lot of light and it was the lowest the 5D could go and I didn’t want to have to add any gain to the Z7 as the picture would get noisey. I had to adjust the ISO on the Canon to match the Sony Z7 so both camera would have the same exposure. I ended up having some difficulty has the light changed dramatically over the day to intense light and then back to dull light. If I worked quicker I probably could of counteracted this. In hindesight I really should of got someone to assist me. I got a bit overwhelmed, went off plan and it all got a bit messy. I think If I had someone to help me I could of gone through it alot more efficiently. As I was filming at quite a low f-stop I had to do quite a bit of focus pulling. As I had to use shorter focal lengths on the Z7 to get the same framing it resulted in a wider-depth of field than what I acheived with the 5D. This made the focus pulling easier on the 7D. I learnt alot just filming my excercise, I made mistakes but I learnt a lot from them. I reflect further once I have viewed and started to edit the footage. 

Over and out.
