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.

Film opening https://youtu.be/rAYNhlvxehY Editing techniques Mask transition Track the object which you want to mask frame by frame using the free draw bezier, after each frame press the arrow positioned in the effect controls to advance the clip forward by one frame, continue this process until the whole clip has been masked away and the next clip is underneath. Some options can be altered after the edit is complete, increasing the feather makes the line seem smoother and more natural. I got the inspiration for this transition from Pan's labyrinth. After working out how to apply the transition to basic objects, i applied it to more complex ones such as a shoe, i may also look to do it inside a tent, so when the tent opens, the next shot follows from outside. Colour grading For the colour grade, i usually (depending on the shot) increase the warmth of the image as i find this much more appealing than a cooler look. Then i adjust the exposure of the shot, altering shadow...

Ideas developed 2

Developing film ideas. No longer following the object, but the camping trip/ tent will still be incorporated. Complex structure/ narrative. Which follows one persons story from different angles, one is told by a voiceover, the other by writing in a journal, to start with, both of these do not match, but they meet in the middle eventually. Someone parks on top of a multi story car park at night time, and notices an open tent with nobody inside, he heads in and shuts the tent after him as he starts to inspect what is inside. He then opens the tent up slightly to make sure no one saw him, and its day time, light is peering through the tent, he rushes to open the tent and jumps out of it, realising he is on the same multi story car park, but it is a bright, sunny day. Realising what he has discovered, he tries to ring his friends but with no answer. Then it cuts to the other side of the story, with the same person but at the end of the quest, realising he is safe and making the final vo...
