Increasingly sophisticated technology is also affecting resolution and overall quality, with 4K being the hottest newsmaker. RED cameras have been shooting 4K for a while, but now that the technology has made its way into Blackmagic and GoPro cameras, we anticipate seeing a lot more of it soon, and expect it be mainstream in two to three years — especially as 4K TVs hit the market.
Adding to the 4K transition, the new H.265 codec is poised to change everything soon. H.265 allows the capture of 4K video on SD cards on DSLRs, which alone will offer a giant leap in resolution and image quality.
7) Color Correction Techniques – video Production Trends
Post-production technology is nearing the point where the average filmmaker can produce something close to Hollywood quality. For instance, color correction goes a long way in achieving the level of production quality that’s expected nowadays.
