1. What is a soft filter? What does it do to your image?
2. What do polarizers do? What does it do to your image?
3. What are neutral density filters? How are graduated filters different?
A soft filter is placed either in front of the lens or in the matte box that softens the image. This filter creates an image with a "dreamy" quality which can be chosen from different degrees of softening. Polarizers help reduce glare and increase saturation / exposure of the image. As a result, the image will reflect a more accurate color. ND filters cuts down the amount of light, helping the cinematographer have more freedom in exposure settings. Graduated ND filters can darken a half the frame while the other side remains at a clear level.
