Hi,
I just got my DVC30 and am going to film a documentary. I bought a RODE videomic and have a few questions.
First off you should know I have never filmed anything before, besides handycam kind of stuff, so everything is new to me, trying to learn it al before i get to filming on the field, but I was wondering what mode is best for shooting? Field shootin, 30frame? Etc, I am mostly going to be doing street shots and street interviews.
My other question is what about the sound levels, I got a nice set of eadphones, but what level should i set the volume on the headphones to know if the sound is coming in good? Or should I just set them to whatever makes me feel ok because I can adjust the volume in post of the input? Like what level input do i set it to I am really confused not aware in this area?
I am seeming to get a very red shot inside my house when filming, is this normal? After adjusting the red and blue balance it looks ok, but i have to set it to +4, just curious if thats a normal thing. I also noticed that this resets everytime i turn the camera off, whats with that? Am i not doing somthign right so it doenst save my settings?
also any other pointers would be nice as I got a lot to learn I am sure
