Week 3 Reflection

Week 3 Reflection

Last week, we finally finished our rough cut! During one of the 45 minute classes, we used the Infoflow studio to shoot the part where Eliza takes the gun out of her purse. We dimmed the studio lights and set up a lamp that pointed directly at her chair. We got an extreme close-up of the purse so that it wouldn't show that we weren't shooting on location. After we imported the clips, the lighting in the insert shots looked a bit funky next to the natural light that we used in the diner, so we figured out a way to fix the color balance for the final film.

We also put in the revised soundtrack for the graded rough cut. We found a good volume so that the music sounds like it’s coming from a jukebox and the combination with the ambient noise isn't too overpowering for the dialogue. Before, the music selection that appeared in the story didn't exactly fit with the setting and with the events in the story, so we had to make some more changes in the adaptation.

Now that we’re done with the rough cut and with the poster, we have this last week to make our final tweaks and make cool opening credits.
