As we're are looking now to achieve the documentary approach to the zombie project, we needed to find the right style for how to shoot the film. As me and Damian were going to be the two main camera operators we worked together to find the correct Cine Style to shoot on with our 550D's. Being the D.O.P and Damian being the editor and then actually looking to colour correct the footage we had to find the right visual style for the project. Above is a video of some tests that we shot interviewing Rob using 4 different cine styles.
What I was looking for was that neutral look, keeping the visual very natural, but also having to take into account that whatever cine style we shot at, Damian would have to colour correct with our chosen style. We got together to have a few meetings and browsed the net looking into the different cine styles that could be downloaded for the Canon DSLR cameras.
The above link had some really good information about the Flat cine styles and their dynamic ranges; we both really liked the Flat cine style look from our test above, and looking at the dynamic range of the the Flat n_12 cine style; Damian thought that this would help him with the colour correction so we both decided that this was the correct style and look for this documentary as it provided us with the natural look we were aiming for and it has great dynamic range that will come in great use for the colour correction during the post production.
