Screener

Here is my screener.

 

I chose to just grab a snippet from the argument of my latest edit and I chose this particular selection because I thought it worked quite well on its own. I did however make the amateur mistake of not giving myself enough time to check the final product. I spent perhaps too long toiling around with the colour correction on my clunky laptop. I was trying to use some secondary correction to balance the female characters face in the shot with the lamp because I felt the lamp was too bright and was dominating the shot. I ended up using a few masks and I think my main mistake was trying to restore red back into the shadows and midtones which became desaturated when I boosted them. When I actually put it on the server and checked it it looked very different to what it did on my laptop. The compression seemed to really boost the reddishness and grain in the mask making it very noticeable, unfortunately by the time it was all exported I didn’t have enough time to correct it before heading off to work. Amateur mistake, lesson learned, give time to check the final product!
