Is it possible to obtain a film image when shooting digital video?
To answer the question, yes, it is possible to obtain a film-like image with digital video. The problem that arises from this answer is cost. It is quite spendy to obtain the quality camera necessary to shoot good video. Here are some things to look for when buying a camera so that you will know you can mimic film.
If you can manage to find a low end camera that can do most of those things, then you are in good shape. There aren't, however, many low end cameras less than a thousand dollars that have a CCD chip, 24fps, and true 16:9 ratio all at once. Those things are important to have in order to "fake" the 35mm camera feel. To have all of those things, it is most likely you will have to invest a bit more money into a higher end, semi-professional camera model. 16:9 ratio is the size at which film is shot and movies look in a movie theater. It is normally known as "wide-screen." A lot of low-end cameras fake this look by chopping off the top and the bottom of a normal 3:5 picture. This is not ideal because it does not preserve all of the picture resolution that is needed to make the final video look convincing. If the camera is capable of shooting in this format, it will specify on the box or in the manual. Shooting video this way makes the video feel cinematic. A CCD chip is the part of the camera that takes and reads the light from the lense. It's important because it places the light in the appropriate spots to make the final picture. Most cheap cameras only have one CCD chip allowing colors to bleed onto each other, like the orange streak that appears on old videos shot with older cameras. Have 3CCD chips separates the light into three primary colors and keeps the picture looking smooth and sharp. If the camera can do this, then the picture will make the video look even more convincing as a "film" project. 24 fps can be hard to come by on a video camera, even some higher end cameras. If it is impossible to shoot this way, than try messing with the video in editing software. Lots of editing software has the ability to change the 30fps of video to 24fps. It isn't the ideal way of doing it, but it is definitely better than nothing at all. Making a video look like a film takes imagination. While getting the same resolution can sometimes be downright impossible, taking the time to learn the mechanics of film making will help in making those low budget digital videos look like Hollywood blockbusters.
