My Camera - Sony a6400

The camera I will be using to film is my Sony a6400. Overall the camera works extremely well, as I'm able to shoot in 4k at up to 30 fps - perfect for a melodrama. However, two of the main limiting factors are that the camera only possesses 8-bit-color and it only has an ASP-C sensor. I will briefly delve into how these two issues will impact the overall visual quality of my film. 

As previously mentioned, the a6400 has an ASP-C sensor - common for the size of the camera. Because of this smaller sensor, scenes with dimmer lighting will be difficult to film without having higher noise, thus degrading the image quality. In order to ensure adequate lighting conditions we must have external lighting.

The other issue I will have is that the camera only possesses 8-bit-color. This means that the look of my film will be degraded due to the limited range of colors that my camera can capture. 

Though not can much be done about a smaller range of colors, I can still do my best to control the lighting within a scene. This will likely be difficult in a public indoor setting - the museum - but not if we are outside (due to plenty of light) or inside someone's home as I can bring my lights there. The more control I can have over lighting the better.
