Lens Flare
Description:
“Lens Flare” is the refraction of light through a camera lens, causing a flash or light glare to be visible in frame.
Impact:
Lens flares impact the Content quality of the asset. Member experience can be negatively affected if a lens flare distracts from the on screen action. If severe enough, lens flares may obscure creatively intended visual elements in a shot. In some cases, creative talent may choose to induce lens flares to achieve a desired “look”.
Severity Structure:
|
FYI |
Lens flare is minor and does not obscure characters or important objects in scene. |
|
Issue |
Lens flare is very large or distracting and obscures on screen action. |
How to Prevent:
Avoid direct light shining on the camera lens.
Use appropriate camera hoods and production flags to shield lens from light.
Solution:
Confirm if lens flare is creatively intended. If not, footage must be adjusted to minimize the flare. This may require a re-position of the shot or possible VFX fix, depending on where in the frame the lens flare exists and how severe it is.
