Ahoj! This is Zdenka. Today is a day 2 of filming the cinematic b roll or commercial,
whatever you wanna call it of cosmetic products. I filmed day one with Sony
A7Siii which is right now the behind the scene camera. For those who haven't seen the video,
I am gonna link it below in a video description. Today is a part 2 when
I am supposed to film with the smartphone iPhone 12pro. The question is though, in
which app? Lot of you under community tap were voting for native camera app which
is 16% and the rest was voting for Filmic Pro which is 15%.
I am gonna be using the same equipment as yesterday which is the main light Aputure
120D with a softbox. I am gonna be using also
iFootage slider because it is meant to be for smartphones as well. They have this great
attachement at the top which can be also used for tripod. I am gonna be definately using that.
And when it comes to props, they are pretty much the same like yesterday. The same selection except
I am gonna try to do little bit different shots. I am
gonna try not to repeat myself as much even though I know that some of the shots will be the same.
Do I have a plan? No. The page is kind of empty. I am just gonna
go with the flow. Hopefully I am not gonna repeat myself as much and yeah..
Scene 1 is ready. I have just a smartphone on a tripod.
This is gonna be the establishing shot. I've put the products all together in a
group. When it comes to positioning of the smartphone, you want it to be as low as
possible but you don't want to see the edge of the table. You have to make sure that the
horizon level is perfect. I am using the native camera app. I am already
seeing big problems there so here I am gonna be filming in 24fps 4K.
It is obviously automatic mode. Slow motion I switched to 120fps. I don't want the super slow
motion 240fps. When it comes to lighting, I am using a softbox obviously.
I am positioning it on purpose so the edge of the softbox is kind of going above products.
If I would move it little bit to the back, I would be lighting up the
background as well which I don't want. I want the background to be very dark. On the other
side I have a white board which is reflecting the light back on the products. That way the
products get little bit reflection in the bottle and also in a gold
section there. I am gonna be filming with the telephoto lens because that way I get
the perfect framing. To lock the exposure and the focus I am just going to tap
and hold on the middle object. And now when I click this arrow here,
I am able to control little bit the exposure so I am gonna bring it down just about to -1 and
now it looks perfect. What I am gonna be doing is just basically
moving the softbox light back and forth so I am gonna go from the darkness to revealing.
And as I explained if
I would go too far, I would be litting up the background as well which I don't want
so I am gonna go again from the darkness to reveal.
In the last shot I was using just this dream
catcher I think it is called. Basically when you place it very close to the lens
and you start spinning it, you will get different colors. Something like this. So if I place it
close to the lens and start turning it, you will see kind of rainbow effect, different colors.
What a mess right? Come clean it up. Well,
the last 2 shots you were looking at, the one where I was just opening the bottles and moving
it around in front of the lens, it was again 120fps slow motion and this one
I was just throwing down the feathers. It was again 120fps. Now the trick is that in
order to get that this way, horizontally, or vertically sorry, you need to start filming
in horizontal position and then as it is filming you just flip the phone to the
vertical one and that way it is going to stay that way in that direction.
And in the post we gonna probably reverse the movement, I don't know. I don't know
what we gonna do. I don't know yet. Scene has been changed once again and this time I
am gonna be using the slider. I am just gonna be sliding to the side.
Only the shot of the lingerie. Again I might be using feathers, I might be using
some kind of a reflectors to get some lighting effect going on there but
that's pretty much it. Just sliding from side to the side.
As I placed 2 items there, what I am doing right now
is actually just playing with the feather in front of the lens to create this very soft effect.
Last 2 clips
were quite simple. I was already quite tired. I was lazy enough to pull
the real set up for the overhead set up, so what I did, I just used the microphone stand,
I have 2 elastics and I just attached the smartphone there. It was just hanging down.
I tried to do the overhead shot when I am throwing actually the items into
the container with the feathers and there was a scarf underneath it but
it was very difficult for me to have it right in the center. It was very difficult to match
it so I am just gonna scrape that off. I did instead just a regular spinner,
still shooting from the top just to get different view and again placed the feathers
there because the whole theme is feathers and then just have the items spinning.
Well I think I have enough clips for today. At the end I was just filming in the
native camera app. Didn't even need Filmic Pro and the other stuff.
Maybe next time. There is still, you can do so much in future videos. So now it's time to see
how it would look like if you edited it together.
