Polarizing Filters?

Hi Guys,

Just wondering before making my investment in a linear 4x4 polariser.

Specifically for video (DVX100B) what are the pros and cons of this filter.

The low down:

I am shooting a feature outdoors (day-some night stuff)- at a lake and around the countryside and other rural areas. I want high saturation as I've found upping saturation in post to provide alot of bad results in output quality.

What are the effects of having this filter on all the time and would I just be best with the Chroma levels up rather than paying for this?

Thanks,

did you search it on google?
it's not a filter that's gives you a specific look. it's a filter that controls reflection of light.
so if you are going to shoot a lot around the lake, you'll be able to have control of the reflection of light from the lake, windows and glasses.
 
ryvac I do understand that but I am also aware (from what I've read) that it provides much higher saturation than shooting without the filter- I agree in terms of reflection but my question was directed more toward the saturation and the possibilty of leaving it on all the time -in daylight.
 
The apparent higher saturation is caused by removal of reflections. How much more saturated the colors are depends on the relative position of the subject and the light source so the results are not consistent.
