Technical Limitations

Whilst planning my music video I have encountered several technical limitations that I will have to resolve. Otherwise they could negatively impact my production. For the music video I will be using a Nikon D3200. It is described as Nikon's entry level DSLR. Despite being entry level it still can record at a high enough quality that, combined with tasteful editing, will give my footage a professional look. However there are areas of the setup that I need to be on top of to maximize the potential of my equipment. For example in my test footage I filmed in a location with yellow coloured walls. The light was also very warm as I shot during golden hour. Although this effect looked great I would rather I would be able to control the colour in post production, thus giving my footage continuity. For example when the lighting changes from shot to shot there is a distinct change in the colouration. By manually white balancing the footage I would be able to garuntee each shot had consistency.
