Production: Highlighting Problems


Problems:

We finished the shoot as planned on Tuesday and today I planned to begin reviewing the raw film in Davinci Resolve. However, after talking with my tutor Matt and upon further analysis of the film, it was obvious that we'd made the mistake of dimming the lights to get a dim effect for the film. As a result, barely any light was being detected by the camera and there was an awful lot of noise in the shot. This is obvious in the lack of information shown in the waveform scope on Davinci Resolve:



Another problem we needed to fix highlighted by Matt was the audience's point of attention. We need to re-frame our shots so we made it clear where the audience was looking. For instance, in this shot, the arm of the protagonist takes up the majority of the shot and the action is hidden away and needs to be made more obvious:

With these changes in mind, we aim to shoot again as soon as we can. I have managed to gain the opportunity for us to film on 12th March which will still leave us plenty of time to edit a rough cut, colour grade and add sound.
