Film Genre - Production Group “Natalie” main shoot

Our shoot for “Natalie” was largely productive! It was, again, very annoying and difficult transporting all of our kit to Merchiston but we managed. We all chipped in to help Holly set up her (really good) production design while Finlay set up the dolly and camera. We got started a little bit late due to not knowing how something was afixed to the camera but we solved it eventually. Unfortunately we weren’t able to put LAV mics on the actors as the mics weren’t connecting to the machine properly and we didn’t know how to fix it.

Once we got going, it became clear that the dolly shot was going to take longer to get done than we anticipated. I think in total there was about 9 takes. Once it was done we were a bit anxious about the amount of time that we had left, but all the other shots were captured in roughly 2-4 takes each. Lauren and Finaly were very confident in their vision which aided in the execution of the shots that we got. I think in total we were on set for about 6 hours. I’m excited to get into the edit and see how it turns out!

Main Client Shoot | Checked Shirts

Editing in Photoshop!

Most of the checked shirts where edited in the same way as the lighting and the settings on the camera where the exact same. This means most of the editing will be very similar, but their are a few edits which are different for the reasons under the final images above.

Brightness and contrast (MODEL)

The model in the original image was a bit dark because of the time of day, so I needed to increase the brightness in Photoshop, I also wanted to make the model have more contrast to make it a quite powerful image. I did all this by going to the "brightness and contrast" on the right of Photoshop and adjusting the sliders accordingly after that I needed to edit out background by using the mask layer already created, then get the paint brush and paint out the areas i didn't want, in this case it was the hole background.

Brightness and Contrast (BACKGROUND)

Now I have edited the model I needed to sort out the background I started this by going to "brightness and contrast" when I clicked onto it two sliders appear, I adjusted these accordingly to the background and nothing else. I brought the contrast right down and the brightness all the way up, The final thing to do was to edit out the model from the second "brightness and contrast" layer.

Saturation and vibrance (BACKGROUND)

The background still had work to be done it was very yellow this could have been because of the lighting in the underground, I fixed this by going to "saturation and vibrance" and decreasing the saturation accordingly until the yellow was gone. The final thing to do was to edit out the model from the second "saturation and vibrance" layer.
