Shoot 3 shots and editing

drone shot

This drone shot was extremely hard to perform as i had to fly it backwards under a fallen tree which although wasn't very high, the shape of it as well as the hanging branches made it difficult to fly through and get the shot. 
Colour grading- i had to colour grade this shot slightly different compared to the other shots, because the drone isn't as good in low light compared to a camera. I had to de-noise the image using the median tool, and i had to increase the shadows much more than i usually would.

Shot of keys + meaning explained

The meaning of the keys and why they are shown so obviously is because the object acts as a Macguffin, the character always checks to have the keys, and if he doesn't then he knows something is wrong. I added a humming sound effect when he picks up the keys to highlight the importance of the object, picking up the keys in turn broke the paradox, which is why he sees himself get in the tent shortly after doing so. I also had the music fade out during this shot, so that all attention is on what is going on visually, rather than on the audio.

The cloning shot + explanation
The clone shot is used to highlight how the paradox has been broken, as the main character picked up the keys which were not supposed to be moved, he has effected the order in which events now occur. To create this effect, i simply used the free draw bezier tool to draw a box covering 50 percent of the frame, so that the other side was the shot placed underneath, this meant both would be played at once giving the effect that the main character has been cloned.

Planning for next shoot Need aerial drone shots of the car, i want to have the music fade from silence as the drone gets closer to the car, and for the drone to stop as it gets as close as it can to the back of the car. Because i cannot have myself in the shot, i will not be close enough to the drone in order to see how close it gets to the back of the car. To solve this i am going too start the drone off close to the car, and get the actor to reverse the car and then play it backwards so it looks like the drone is getting closer to the car as the car is driving forward. As the drone gets closer to the car, the music will start to sound like it would if it were playing inside the car and the audience were listening from outside. Once the drone gets as close to the car as it can, i will cut to a shot inside the car, where the music will be playing as part of the soundtrack, full volume. I will also get a shot of the drone following the car into the courtyard where the main characte...

Auteur presentation study -  Link to presentation Overall, i believe my Auteur presentation on Del Toro went well. I believe i explored many of his popular films in a successful manner and highlighted his signature styles within these chosen films. I think the visuals to do with colour palette worked well because it showed exactly how Del Tero uses colours with visual evidence. I also believe my explanation/ analysis of his signature styles went well, but i could have been less descriptive and include more core knowledge. To make my presentation better, i could have included video essays or interviews from other auteur theorists as this would have backed up the auteur theory even more. Or displaced the theory as a whole. In terms of presenting my research, i believed i could have been stronger as i didn't talk about much which wasn't in my presentation, which meant the whole thing ran slightly short.
