Nikon D3100 - cinematic video test, Full HD

**Tips for color correction added below!** Quickly testing how the new Nikon D3100 performs in cinematic video shooting style, and how the material works in color correction. DP / editor: Sakari Mäkelä, student of movie cinematography Tips for color correcting footage ------------------------------------------- In video editing or color correction software's video effects, take the "luma curve" tool and turn the linear line more into a "S"-shaped curve, just pressing darks more low and lights more up. (like here: www.hdforindies.com One can then add also RGB curves and try to adjust these also individually to different color channels to get the desired result. Then I suggest to add "Fast color collector" (in Adobe Premiere Pro) and from there find "master" settings and "saturation" and then lower it like to 70% or something like that. (other softwares might have a separate "Saturation" effect) Usually in cinematic style, saturation is a bit lower than 100%. Then one can use the color corrector tool's color wheel (depending a bit from the software used) to change the overall tone of the picture. These quick tips should give some cinematic punch to picture :)
