Hi,
I am planning to shoot a short film using a combination of super 8mm and digital. I have filmed shorts before using my 8mm but have limited experience with digital. I have recently purchased a sony pdv 150 and was wondering if it was best to shoot my film in b&w through the camera, or to adjust in the edit(final cut pro).
If anyone can shed a little light on this situation I would be extremely gratful
Noswal?:D?
Adjust it later in post.
One very important hint. Lighting black and white is very different form lighting color. You can make it look like a black and while movie or a color movie with the color taken out. Make sure your camera is connected to a good monitor and adjust it so it's only showing a black and white image.

I'm curious - why not shoot with the camera set to b&w
What if you can't easily attach the camera to a monitor for various reasons?
I'm thinking of shooting b&w to start with so any advice much appreciated.

You can. But often the software you are using to take out the color is better at it than the camera. If you retain your original footage in color you have way more control.

You should always have a good monitor attached at all times. The viewfinder and LCD screens on all cameras just aren't good enough. But if you can, you can't.
