Lighting Issue - 01/03/12

During today's lesson whilst sorting through our clips we realised that the filming that we had done last week (the villain walking down a corridor) was not good enough for our film and that we needed to reshoot. This, of course, meant that we hadn't finished filming yet. The issue with these clips were that it was too light when we had filmed, and when we went into the 'editing' options, then to 'lighting', we couldn't quite get the look we needed to create the tension we had hoped for in the trailer. It was either too light, or so dark that we couldn't see our villain. After many attempts to recover these scenes, we had to come to the conclusion that reshooting had to happen.

Because of the lighting issue with the corridor we will be using, we decided that we could use black card/paper or bin liners to block out any natural light from the skylights that had ruined our shooting last week.

Yet again we were unable to edit much together so we decided to start using photoshop to put our magazine cover together. We have images that we took last week of our villain. So whilst Danny went on the internet to try to find information on lighting effects, I cut the image out using the Cut tool and put it onto a blank background. Danny came back in, with an idea for the poster, where the villain is the only image rather than having the victim in the background and we would try to use the effect of words making up the image of the villain. Our teacher said that the only way that would work would be if there was some sort of monologue over the top of our trailer. We thought about this, and set to work creating this monologue. In order for the monologue to work we would have to change the background music from "Running up that Hill" by Placebo to something else. We chose a sound clip of eerie music to replace this song. It would be a lot easier but we still have to email the record company who created it for the copyright permission.
