The Shoot – Setting up the equipment
White balance
Remember to set the white balance correctly. Cameras usually have pre-sets for interior lighting and exterior lighting. Most often one needs to do white balancing manually. But the lighting conditions of video projections and screens can be peculiar so remember to check on a monitor how the images look in terms of what is most important in your shoot. You might need to repeat the white balancing several times and to find the right settings through trial and error. If the lighting conditions change drastically within one shot you can try the automatic function in the camera to see what kind of results you will get, but as a rule one should avoid it. One useful feature in some cameras is that you can save several custom white balance settings and attach them to buttons on the camera.
