Can u film a scene using a combination of Digital and film cameras???

just asking...Lets say ur using a 7D and wanna use a Panasonic JVC as a second cam (which of course is kinda not good cause the Panasonic isnt 1080 by 1920) but if the film camera u had was HD would it be a weird look to combine the digital and film footage from 2 cameras filming the same scene

First, your title is misleading. You're not combining the use of digital and film cameras, you are combining two different digital cameras. Second, there is no such thing as a "Panasonic JVC" camera. That's like saying you have a "Apple Microsoft" computer, so you need to specify what exactly the second camera is going to be.

Man, this might be the most misinformed question ever. not sure who you've been talking to but you need to find some different references ; )

my bad I ment Sony.

sony, panasonic, jvc... still wrong in the context of what you're asking. they are all just different brands of video cameras and ALL of them can produce a 1920x1080 image REGARDLESS of how they did it.

So mini DV's are not classified as film??

no. absolutely not.

FILM is classified as film. everything else is video.
thats one of my biggest pet peeves in the production community. unless you are using actual FILM, what youre doing is not filming. the more accurate term is "shooting"

Despite the errors in your info. Certainly, there are many reasons you may choose to use a different look for a second angle.
Like a different viewers perspective, subject matter reference, or even simply visual interest... IF it suits your target audience.

the best way to easily figure out if a second look for a second angle is a good idea is - experience.

when i first started shooting my own "real" productions (back in like 1994) i would sometimes drop in a wildly different second angle "just because" and i was too inexperienced to realize that it didnt really make sense in context of who would be watching the final product.

True.

To the OP, this might help clear things up a bit:

As far as answer your question- it has much to do with specifics of each camera. Some match quite well, others do not. I had a heck of a time trying to match the colors between a Panasonic and Canon camera.
