Difficulties Encountered When Editing

Poster Editing

Death in Bloom - FIRST DRAFT

THINGS THAT NEED TO BE CHANGED/IMPROVES ON

• Music needs to be slightly more upbeat at the start of the trailer
• Sound needs to be sorted out, some of it is too harsh and you can hear the creaking of the table in certain scenes, so it needs to be edited out.
• Very last scene has to be added and edited properly

Technologies Used and How They were Mastered

Colour Grading

Adobe Photoshop C36 was used to colour grade the shots in our trailer; we used our own knowledge and help from a friend to transform shots such as those above. We wanted to use a lot of warm tones in our trailer to connote the romantic theme, which is evident in the first screenshot of the bin. We graded Mara and Sam's shots separately so to emphasise the contrast between the blue and red shades which represents the binary opposites in our narrative, life and death, boy and girl, extroverted and introverted, etc. In the shot of Sam spitting out water the background was initially compromised of pink tones but we drew out the colour purple in the edit so to show how his life, represented by the colours pink and red, was being changed by Mara (red and blue create purple). In the last screenshot, we were disappointed with how the camera muted the colours in the original footage; thus we targeted the red colour in the edit because colour is such a strong symbol and motif throughout our trailer. 

Filming Day 2

Poster Shoot

These were taken during our first day of filming and present several different styles of poster. The images with the white background are more simplistic whereas those with coloured lighting and props suggest the narrative. For editing we will change the background or reshoot with alternative backgrounds in case we have trouble editing the shapes out.
