a shot in the dark..

Post by garjobo123 »

Chap i filmed moved out of shot slightly ( i wasnt manning the camera ), moving toward the left of screen when really needed to move back towards the right of screen. It was an interview so needed space in front of him.

Also, by moving slightly,being against a window, he ended up mostly in darkness.

Yep, bit of a distaster.

Which i am now trying to fix in VS20.

Ive tried lighting etc options, various ones...some do make him lighter but i note his t-shirt becomes all blocky, patchy..gives impression quality isnt great the lighter i make him.

Cropping- well..i can crop and then resize image but obviously this option means his is larger on screen taking up most of it!

Thoughts welcome. Finally, unrelated to this i guess, blurring a background, allowing subject to stand out. Yep, i know about the various blur effect, quite good too..but none of them literally block out the chap properly.

It's nice that you attached the problematic frame but I see no problem.
