I have selected a lake side location for a shooting a music video
during the day time with my Canon XL2. I am having trouble getting
good lighting condition and contrast because of bright sun and moving
water. I would greatly appreciate advice from a professional dv
cameraman. First of all I need to know what time of the day will be the
ideal time to shoot the video. Does the sun need to be exactly behind
me when I shoot? When I record my subject in front of the lake water,
my subject appears to be dark (low contrast) while her background water
and trees come very bright in the shot. I need to know how I can make
my subject brighter along with the background. I also need to have
footage around the trees at the lake. When I have my subject under the
trees with a bright lake background, I again have the same problem, I
am using built in ND filter and also tried reflector to have some
shades on the subject. What are the golden rules of getting good
contrast under bright sun?
