Now that I have completely edited my entire project, it is important I write down some important things that I did to improve my project. In this blog post I will be talking about shifts that I made to colors and in the next blog I will talk about how I was able to mess with and integrate sounds and other minor tweaks to further assist in the quality of my work. My project was filmed exclusively during the night. This was a very much intentional decision since like I have mentioned previously, it helps with creating the ominous atmosphere I was aiming for. However, this possess a problem for when one is trying to film with a smartphone and not a dedicated filming camera
Because the sensors found on modern say smartphones are so small, commonly less that 3 quarters of an inch in size, they cannot let in enough light in these lowlight scenarios to properly focus on a subject without the assistance of at least a little bit of light or a internal sensor to mesure depth. These issue only grow larger as the subject becomes smaller. Because of this, I had to add more light to scenes with smaller subjects. While adding more light helped with keeping subjects in focus it did present a new issue, that being colors. Because of this part or my efforts while editing where adjusting the colors so that each frame came out looking more consistent. Bellow I have provided two videos, the first being the original sequence and the second the edited sequence with -25 exposure and +16 contrast specifically.
