Hi,
I want to make a very bluish and cold image for a student short movie which I'll shoot next month.
So, I was wondering what is the best way to achieve the bluish cast:
1. to use strong correction filters on camera or
2. to cheat the white balance or
3. to shoot strait and do it in post
or all of them at the same time?
The camera is Canon XL. My concern is the picture quality and since the miniDV signal has very heavy compression in the blue channel I was wondering what will happen if the picture is primary blue and where is the best point in the process for introducing some stronger correction.
I am considering to test this before the shooting, but I will be thankfull if someone shares some expirience with me.
Thanks in advance.
