I have a Mini-DV camcorder and I'm interested in making my own short movies. I would like to know how to emulate the look of film as closely as I can because it is a vastly superior product in comparison to footage shot on DV.


Answer
The easiest way to make a video look like a film would be to change the settings on the camera to Letterbox settings (the black strips that are the top and bottom of the screen). It works for me when I did film and televsion :)

Why can i see the lens when recording?

I've just brought myself an Opteka .43 fisheye for my sony handycam dv camcorder and when the lens is attached you can see a curved corner on the top right hand side of the image when recording, why is this and can i stop it?


Answer
One thing is, did you check to make sure that the lens is the right size for your camera, because that seems like that could be the problem in my own opinion. Because when you can start seeing the corner of the lens in the camera it will either be the wrong size or the lens wasn't made for that specific camera, this what I have come across before on certain occasions.
