Grids
Your video assist can display a 'thirds' overlay with two vertical and horizontal lines placed in
each third of the image. Blackmagic Video Assist 12G HDR features two additional types of
framing assistance, 'crosshairs' and 'center dot'.
Thirds Thirds are an extremely powerful tool to help compose your shots.
For example, the human eye typically looks for action near the points where
the lines intersect, so it's helpful to frame key points of interest in these zones.
Crosshairs The 'crosshairs' setting places a crosshair in the center of the frame.
Like thirds, the crosshairs is a very useful compositional tool, making it easy to
frame the subject of a shot in the very center of a frame.
Center Dot The 'center dot' setting places a dot in the center of the frame. This works in
exactly the same way as the 'crosshair' setting, albeit with a smaller overlay
that you may find less intrusive.
On 12G video assist models you can enable a combination of 'thirds' and
'crosshairs' or 'thirds' and 'center dot' by tapping both options in the 'grids'
menu. 'Crosshairs' and 'center dot' cannot be selected together.
TIP An actor's eyeline is commonly framed along the top third of the screen, so you
can use the top horizontal third to guide your framing. Thirds are also useful to maintain
framing consistency between shots.
False Color
The false color feature displays color overlays on your image that represent exposure values.
The color values correspond to optimum exposure settings, for example pink for Caucasian skin
tones and green for 38.4% middle grey. False color is also helpful to know when shadows and
highlights are near clipping or clipping.
With a range of tonal values on the LCD at once, this gives you a broader overview of
your exposure which you can use to refine lighting on set, or make exposure changes
to compensate.
