Colour Grading My Film

Colour grading is an overlooked element of film making. I wanted to grade my film in order to make it more visually appealing to the audience.

I originally wanted to use a warm orange pallet, however, once editing I found that a cold blue pallet was more effective, as it reflected the post apocalyptic mood of the film.

 I used the 'vsco' filters on adobe lightroom in order to give the piece a more vintage style, so that the still, tripod shots would resemble old fashioned post cards.

Evidence of directing

Here is a video showing an example of me directing the actors in my film. This is a process vital to the sequence as it allows for a higher quality product as the actors can give a better performance.

On this particular shoot, I had to direct the actors multiple times when they were holding the cameras for the video diary sequence.
