stops of 4 and above, when possible.6.3.3 LightingIt is recommended not to cut corners with your lighting package forthe sake of the budget. Those scenes which rely in the speed of thelens to compensate for minimal lighting will produce more grainthan scenes which are amply lit and use a less critical lens aperture(T4 and higher).6.3.4 ExposureWhen shooting Super16 for blow-up, avoid underexposure and pu-sh-processing whenever possible, In fact, slight overexposure of thenegative will produce a blow-up with less grain and increase colorsaturation and detail in shadowed areas. For best results, it is recom-mended to overexpose the negative anywhere from 1/3 to one stop,depending on the stock and the desired look.When shooting Super16 for video transfer, slight overexposure is re-commended for the same reasons, but care must be taken. Overex-posed negatives on a telecine require a higher gain, which increasesvideo noise. The benefits of an overexposed negative, however, out-weigh the additional noise introduced if the overexposure is kept wi-thin one stop or less.6.3.5 Camera MovesIf a Super16 film is to be viewed on a large screen, any camera mo-vement becomes intensified.
