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...

You know how I know you don't know about exposure?

No such thing on professional/pro-sumer video cameras, only DSLRs shooting video.

Wouldn't have helped anyway. Look at the scene - the auto exposure setting turned the average of the field to neutral gray... that's what light meters do. The t-shirt and wall are enough light area to fool the camera into thinking it didn't need to open the iris more, because as is the metering area averaged out to neutral gray. 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.

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