In two days I'll finally do my first video project.
I'll be filming the rollout of a college-student project, they built an electrical racecar. I probably will do 1 or 2 interviews. I know lots of theoretical stuff from college courses and I have done a bit of Video editing with Blender for a YT channel, but I never did something with different types of video.
I have a Lumix G7 (MFT) and a 14-140mm lens (28-280mm equivalent).
It can shoot 4k 25fps, 1080p 50fps, 1080p 25fps and a bunch of other resolutions nobody gives a shit about.I'd rather not shoot 4k because I think 50fps provides the better jump in quality and the cam has a 4GB file limit per recording.
It can soot in MP4 and AVCHD (no 4k though).
I have a Rhode 70€ mic with no additional recorder.
I have a small tripod for in the pocket and a video-tripod with fluid pan-tilt that with which I can bring the cam to eye level (maybe 6feet)
That's more or less my setup right now.
so now my question is: how do I do it?
What settings do I use? My Cam has all these settings like "Cinematic Dynamic" "Vibrant" "Natural". Do I use Auto? I guess not! What kind of aperture do I use? how should I improvise lighting? SHould I do the video correction in Blender? I know how to do stuff like Colour corrections and contrast, although the blender tools for that are very clunky. If not In blender what else should I use? (I'm on Linux)
