The editing for this project was hard in some places, due to me trying some new editing techniques, such as colour correcting my shots. I have not done much colour correcting on my previous projects, so it was difficult at first, as I was learning as I went along. Some shots were more difficult to colour correct than others, due to the shots being one after another, but were shot at different times of the day, so the light levels were different. This made colour correcting difficult as it was much harder to have the colours match between shots.  Another problem during the edit was the audio. There are some clips that have people talking in the background, which is very annoying. It was quite difficult to remove the sound, while still keeping the natural background noise. If I was to do this project again, i would buy better headphones so that I can hear the audio better, and hopefully improve my editing There were several things that went well during my edit as well. I was able to

There were a few things that went wrong with the shoot. One of the main things was that there were some shots that had to be changed due to the amount of light during the shoot. In some of the shots that I had on my shot list, the sun was either causing a lot of the frame to be lost due to contrast, or was causing a shadow of me on the camera, which was not wanted. Due to this, I had to change some of my shots, but I think I made improvements to the shots needed. The biggest change to the shots that I wanted was filming a sunrise. I wanted to film the sunrise from the top of a church tower, as I felt like the view of the town in the twilight would be a good contrast for the line “I am the sunlight on ripened grain” Because of this change, I managed to contact a friend who does a lot of drone filming, and he let me use some footage he had of a sunrise. Another thing that could have been improved was the audio. During editing, some of the shots have people in the ba

When the day of shoot came around, I had a shot list made to help me keep on track with all the shots that I needed to cover, and Alan, one of my actors, just down the road at my nan’s house, ready to come to the graveyard at a moment’s notice. I was expecting the shoot to last 2 hours, and I finished just under that, which was good, as I needed to keep to a schedule as I was filming between 14:00 and 16:00, so the sun was getting very low between those times, which would have made filming very difficult. Despite this however, I was able to work with the decreasing light, and even incorporate it into some shots.  Before the shoot, I made the decision to have the whole film shot using a handheld camera instead of a tripod, as I wanted the uneasiness of the shots to try and evoke emotions in the audience. I did bring a tripod with me, as I was going to shoot the GVs as a Steadicam, but I decided against this idea as I felt that having this constant changing of shots would not look g

On the day before shooting, my friend who was going to be one of my actors had to drop out of the shoot, so I had to find a replacement. I asked a few more friends, but they were all busy, and couldn't change their schedules due to it being such short notice. I therefore had to ask a few people on the same course as me. This was not what I wanted to do, as I wanted to try and have people off the course in order to experience having to direct people that I did not know. Eventually, my friend George agreed that he would help me with my project.
