So far so good?
On Tuesday, we went to suite and learnt how to do colour grading and a lot of other techniques for this semester, to finish our projects as we planned.
As I am the only one who uses Final Cut Pro for editing my film, I found it quite challenging for me to catch up with other students as they are already used to Adobe Premiere Pro. However, after having a play with it with Allison, it’s not that hard to do and surprisingly, it’s as easy as Final Cut Pro. I watched Allison’s work a little bit in class and she gave me some ideas of lighting issue, which is what she’s working on. It’s interesting to use each other’s works to explore and see how we can improve our work.
I decided to put voice over of a scene from a movie Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind by Michel Gondry as a guide. My ideal voice over for my video is a conversation between two people talking about something, would be best if it’s quite personal and a bit emotional in order to include feelings and emotions to the work, not only decent moving images. the video below will be show how it is with the voice over, without colour grading.
Overall, my project is going really well. Now, what I need to do is colour grading and creating a voice over of my own, or even find a legal voice over one to finish my work. I also need to shoot more shots with different angles. I have a lot of wide shots already, and all I need now is more close-up shots. Hopefully will finish shooting by this week so I can work more on colour and voice over.
