You shoot a black person wearing a white shirt in front of a white wall. I'm not even going to get into the million things wrong with this shot besides the issue I described. What in the fuck man? Fix it in post, right? What in the mother fuck am I supposed to do with this shot? I can't believe some people get paid for their job....
End rant and CSB...
Looks like someone was shooting on Auto...
too bad they didn't have auto iso turned on. ;)
No such thing on professional/pro-sumer video cameras, only DSLRs shooting video.Quote:

She's off-set, too - most video cameras have a smallish metering field centered in the frame (not spot, but maybe 10-20% of the field. That's why the whites are gray, and the face is under-exposed by a stop or two.
Gotta follow rule of thirds manQuote:

They did - it's a more compelling framing vs. straight on. My point was the camera meters with a center-bias.
