Film grain. A common problem when it comes to filming something. And something we cannot avoid.
It can happen at almost any time, particularly if you happen to be filming under certain light sources.
But does grain have its advantages despite the flack it gets?
For one thing, grain can create a very dated look when it comes to filmmaking. Not ideal for those who want a clean and modern image, but it could be applicable for those who want to create something a little on the "vintage" side.
I am currently undertaking a project where I am promoting a society at the university that I am part of. The dilemma I am facing is that a lot of the available footage appears grainy and old. However, I am at the moment making the cleaner clips appear "dirty" for the sake of consistency. Simultaneously, I am trying to create a look that suits the video game style that I am doing.
Although I am hoping that audiences will be able to take some meaning from it, it is something I'm risking in doing for the sake of saving time.
