Editing Our Short Film!

Colour and Lighting

When editing the scenes we filmed at our characters house it became clear that the light in the shoots would need to be dramatically changed as the shots all had an orange glow that was due to the lack of light in the room we were filming in (details in Problems Faced When Filming). To begin with we changed the filters and the image control on the shots to help lose the orange tinge but after many alterations the shots at the home finally all looked much more clean and appropriate. Upon watching the film through with the new colour changes we decided that we preferred the colour on the shots as it highlighted the coldness and fear the boy lives in at home so we desaturated and gave them an extra blue tinge to all the shots filmed at his home to clearly show his dislike of living there. 

We changed the colour of all the shots take when the boy is at his home to help establish him as a character who is unhappy with his circumstances. We reduced the red on all the shots and raised the blue and green to help lose the life and vitality of the shots to convey his loneliness and depression.
