I'm coming upon a shoot for my last semester project. It has a lot of night scenes. I was just wondering with my exposure how can I replicate the feeling of eyes adjusted to darkness? I was thinking of underexposing my key a little more then a stop (may 1 and a half) and letting darker areas go more then 2 under. Then bringing it down in post. Is that a good way of doing it?
AND
I recently shot on 250D. The stock was beautiful in skin tones and color. I had an unsupervised transfer and the timer added blue as if I shot tungsten film uncorrected. Why would this happen? I shot a grey card at the head of each role. For instance one role was dedicated to shots done in sunlight so I shot the card in that light. The other was for shots done in the shade under trees, etc. and I shot the card in that light. I numbered the sunlight roll 1 and the shade roll 2 so the first thing they transferred was the sunlight roll. The way I positioned the card was flat, no glare, it was brand new 18% grey, and had it lit by the sun+sky or if I was in the shade then that light.
Thank You
