Recently, a successful ex-pupil called
Rob Johnstone came into school to teach us a lesson. Having completed the course last year with exceptional grades, his experience was incredibly useful as he explained how to complete a proper storyboard and effective animatic, as well as showing us the depth of planning he went into such as his shot list and filming plan.
Rob also discussed his editing techniques and how he managed to create a professional looking piece. His main point was about colour correction v colour grading. He described how changing the colours slightly in colour correction not only makes the scene look a lot more professional, it also can easily be used to create moods and certain atmospheres.
An example of this is from the opening shot of his short film:
In this scene he purposefully made the scene darker and slightly redder all in post-production. As you can see it very effectively creates the menacing atmosphere and makes the film already look very professional. I will definfaltely experiment with colour correction in my film and will tak inspiration from this piece of work.
You can see his very good blog
here, and I'm sure to gain inspiration from his very good work.
