Budget is the primary reason that many independent pieces are being shot on DV. There is often much disappointment when it’s transferred to film. Also, the costs to transfer to film are so expensive that if a transfer from video to film is in the future, there is no cost savings.
“Film look” process in post-Production
Q: Why do so many people try to give video a “film look?”
A: Film has a more organic and pleasing “feel.” Many folks feel video tends to look “too crisp”. Video is the preferred format for news shows so a video show feels like a “live event.” People associate video with lower-budgets so by making it look more film-like, it raises the production value.
Then of course there is the saying:
A love scene shot on video is considered “Porn.” A love scene shot on film is considered “Art.”
