I have a question about lighting darker areas in a scene. In class I've been hearing you need to light your blacks or your dark areas and I understand this. But what if you want something to be totally black? I thought noise arises when you try to brighten up dark footage. But if you have a scene where one part is at key in frame but another is a EU on your meter or more then 5 stops under and thats what you want, will you find noise in the image? (Film)
Does this apply to digital? I hear the red camera can be noisy in the blacks and in most situations you would light certain areas to a level. Though if your putting someone in shilloute or want a part of a frame to be totally black can you just leave it unlit?
Thanks
