Assessment 2 - a short director note
Name of the video: Rouge
Summary: A university girl who is not believing in ghost reading a horror book for the literature class in the library and fall asleep, after she wakes up she found that she is being followed by someone who is wearing a red jacket.
In the filming, we used Sony a6000 camera and placed it in vertical which looks like using Snapchat to show the story to the others. We used 25p 17M record-setting, white balance is an incandescent mode that the lightning will be darker and fit to the atmosphere of a horror video. Also, we used a small tripod that we can keep the camera more steadily, to avoid the chances to film our fingers incidentally when the cameraman is running and avoid the viewer feel dizzy while watching the video.
From Tarsem Singh’s work, he uses colour to represent a character, such as a devil is red, pure is yellow, black and white is describing the past. Colours is a powerful tool which can influence the whole story, so we would also use colour in the same way as director Singh.
The point to pay attention with is, due to the main “character” here is the red, that need to ensure cannot see any/some red in the same scene when it is unnecessary, which will confuse the viewer.
