Hypnosis: My new short film



Ok this clip has a really funny story. It was originally supposed to be a comedy skit. But then I thought that the atmosphere was really nice so I decided to make it a serious, horror vid. But I overdid it a little bit so it’s a bit funnier than I originally intended. I’m officially calling it a comedy/horror video so whatever reaction you get from it, I’m safe

Seriously though, I’m really proud of the cinematography of this vid. Take note that I’m a complete amateur and that this is a one-man production. I held the camera 100% of the time.

To those looking for specifics, I used a sony DCR-PC5 minidv camcorder. I shot the film entirely in my room ..and in the bathroom. I edited the video with adobe premiere pro 7. I used several methods to increase the contrast levels and emphasize the shadows, I’m not gonna tell you of course. In most of the scenes, the room was completely dark. The only light sources were my TV and the monitor of my PC. That says alot about the lowlight performance of the PC5. A lot of camcorders are practically useless indoors under normal lighting.

Funny or freaky? :)

Choose a cam with a large sensor. THey absorb more light and therefore perform better in lowlight conditions. Most camera sensors range from 1/3 to 1/6 inches(the lower the number at the bottom is, the bigger the sensor)

The price difference between 2nd hand camcorders and brand new camcorders is very significant so I suggest that you buy a 2nd hand unit. Check the reviews online first before buying. If you're on a tight budget, buy a minidv camcorder. Avoid low end DVD camcorders. THey're a lot more expensive than minidv cams but the picture quality is horrible.

Finally, sony makes some of the best camcorders out there. Almost all sony camcorders come with infrared nightshot. And all new sony camcorders come with touchscreen LCDs. So put sony camcorders at the top of your list.

If you have anymore questions about camcorders just ask me :)
