Artificial light and exposure(SUPER 8)

Post by maram »

hallo everybody,
i own a nizo 4080(first time i use it)and i would like to shoot a scene in a room illuminated just by artificial light. I think the light is too low and i was thinking to use a fill light, do you think its a good idea to do it even if i dony have experience in lighting?

other question: do you recommend a grey scale test before start using the super8 camera?
and using a light meter<?

i need tips to have a correct lighted shooting....

thnak you.....

Before you use it for any real project, you should run a test roll through it to check for problems with the film transport, meter accuracy, and to just get a feel for the camera.
