Editing - colour correction


We learnt how to colour correct our clips as shooting from different angles with different cameras, once put together we realised there was a slight change in lighting making the video not match up so we colour corrected some clips. A few were too dark so we had to increase the whites and add back some saturation which was lost. The other clip was more green than the one before which had a pinkish tint so we moved around the colours in the palettes in the opposite direction from cool colours to warm colours.

Third Day of Filming - Location (Drake)





We filmed on location in Limehouse for Drakes verses, using the landscape of the light towers as a backdrop. We took a DSLR camera, tripod and dolley tripod with us to experiment with different kind of shots.

With the dolley tripod, we were unable to use it as we hoped because the ground was not smooth enough for it to roll properly. We captured very high quality shots using the 50 mm lense which also helped us get the lighting bright enough as we could set the aperture to 1.8 which also created a shallow depth of field on our actor making the backdrop have a bokeh effect.



Third Day of Filming - Studio (Extras & Drake)

In the studio we filmed five girls acting natural in individual shots, which will be edited and put together for one of Drakes verses.
We then filmed Drake rapping verse 1 and 2 with a white background this time to give us a variety to choose from when editing. We also took some still shots and close ups for any gaps we need to fill in the video. In this session there were no problems and everything ran smoothly.
