We filmed the final shots of the film but found lots of the clips too dark. I tried adding a luma corrector to try and solve this problem and it did to an extent, but added a grain to the footage. I will need to discuss with the group wether we will re shoot the shots but it is difficult as the area is one that has little light and we need to note the continuity with previous shots before adding artificial light. In terms of the content of the shots, we felt it was successful, particularly the attempt to emulate police lights shining on the protagonists face.
Filming the fight scene was probably the most challenging part of the overall short film. This is because we needed to ensure that it was fast paced to create tension and emulate the emotions that would go through the character during a fight. One way we did this is by speeding up the clips slightly. This allowed for the impact to look more severe and added to the intensity of the scene. We had to make sure we only sped it up slightly because if the percentage was over 120% the footage started to look choppy. One way we could have overcome this was to film in 60 frames per second, however we were unsure whether the JVC camera had this ability. Fortunately, only a small percentage increase was required so the overall affect was successful in my opinion.
