Hey!
I'm a bit unsure if I chose the correct subforum for this post, also I feel this is a very noob question so feel free to laugh
I'm shooting a lot of interview stuff indoors with a standard 3point controlled lighting setup.
Usually a fast prime lens, with settings similar to these: f/4, 1/50s, ISO 160 (lowest), if I try to go more open with the f-stop the picture easily is overexposed unless I counter with ND etc. What bothers me though is that I get quite a bit of grain and low quality image even though I make sure there's enough light hitting the sensor, so exposure is balanced. This is indoors. Once I go outside in bright daylight and use very similar settings I get a much more cleaner result.
Why is that?
I'm guessing that because the distribution of light is much more even outside it gives a better image?
So what should I do? Get much brighter lamps and counter overexposure with much smaller apertures?
Or will indoor footage never look as clean and even as outdoor stuff shot in daylight?
Thanks!
ETA: Oh, fwiw I'm shooting 1080p, 24fps on a hacked GH2, lenses vary but above is observable despite which lens is used.
