The idea is that the added noise will appear like film grain \u2014 but in reality, digital noise looks nothing like film grain, at least to my eye.<\/p>\n<p>Be sure to shoot as cleanly in camera as possible, and save the grain for the editing room (more on that later). Focus on capturing the best possible source image, with the least amount of digital artifacts, as it\u2019s always easier to degrade your footage after the fact, as opposed to having to salvage it in the editing room.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"2-avoid-full-frame\">2.

This means that there\u2019s a very large crop factor, equating to less depth of field. So, when possible, aim to shoot on a Micro Four Thirds camera, or even a smaller sensor camera like previously mentioned Blackmagic Pocket Camera to emulate that look. If you only have access to a full frame DSLR, you can make that work too, but you\u2019ll need to stop down your lenses and be more acutely aware of the DOF.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"3-go-handheld\">3.

If you\u2019re a fan of <strong>the S16 look<\/strong>, chances are you\u2019re also into the handheld look, so consider ditching the sticks for your shoot if a run-and-gun style suits your mood and story.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"4-aim-for-tighter-shots\">4. Aim for Tighter Shots<\/h3>\n<p>As mentioned above, the <strong>Super 16mm format<\/strong> is fairly cropped, so (in many cases) tighter shots and longer lenses are more conducive to emulating the look of <strong>S16<\/strong> authentically. That\u2019s not to say you can\u2019t go wide on <strong>S16<\/strong>, but a wide-angle lens on a full frame camera will look different than a wide lens on a true <strong>Super 16mm<\/strong> camera. If you don\u2019t want to give yourself away (and you\u2019re shooting on a large sensor), choose close-ups and medium shots.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"5-add-grain-in-post\">5.
