How to achieve a Film Look - DSLR film making

A steadicam for under $50, they're a lot of fun! https://amzn.to/2XirBy9 Great audio recording for $75: https://amzn.to/2ROscGy (the newer version of the mic I used for this video) The tripod I use (after my last one broke while travelling): http://amzn.to/2uruiUh A great first DSLR: http://amzn.to/2vm8FDV These links are Amazon affiliates which help support me. If you have done your research on a purchase I'd be very grateful if you used my link before buying anything! Beginning to shoot film on your DSLR? This tutorial goes over some practical tips on creating a cinematic look with your DSLR footage. In this video I cover the basic camera settings to achieve a popular style and some effective editing techniques to begin with. Have a read of the comments - some much more qualified people have shared their useful tips! Something I did not mention is that you can use a neutral-density filter to reduce amount of light entering the camera. This will allow you to shoot with a wide aperture in bright daylight while keeping the exposure correct. While I mentioned you could overlay an image with black bars to make a 2.35:1 aspect ratio, it's much better to make the project itself the correct ratio so that films display better on ultra-widescreen displays. You can change this in the composition settings or in the export settings in premiere - for 1080p footage the resolution will then be 1920x810 pixels (rather than 1920x1080).

I'm currently a final year Computer Science student at UNSW Sydney though I also have a love for filmmaking, electronics and graphic/UX/industrial design.
