Henry and I took the F5 out for quick test this afternoon. Henry needed some test footage to work with on the edit programmes and I wanted to get myself familiar with then the camera itself. Handily, although the F5 is more technically complicated, it is more or less just like any other camera I have worked with. The main difference is the manual setting of the white balance, which is no bad thing as it gives us more control over the image as making us more attentive to it's final colour.
With the ISO generally starting at 2000 lack of light probably won't be too much of an issue, we may even need to use the ND filters in order to create the image we want.
Overall the camera is exactly what we need to shoot this film and now that I am aware of what kind of footage it produces and how it processes light I can now go on and reflect this in my lighting plans.
