Changes I Made To The Storyboard And Other Various Clips

During the filming of my opening, I found many shots I was unhappy with, that didn't math up to the storyboard. Some showed unwanted background whilst others didn't let in enough light. During editing I found more bad shots and decided to omit them. An example of one of these would be the match-on-action of the nurse flipping over a piece of paper on the clipboard. It looked very disjointed and unprofessional. Cutting the second shot of the nurse flipping the paper means we could still have a match-on-action from a mid shot of the character to a close up of the nurse and inspector's feet. Whilst editing, I found that brightening of a film clip was possible if I just selected colour correction. I upped the brightness on the scenes of the Inspector's face to balance out the light coming in from behind the character and the shadows in front. This made the character's facial features and expressions a lot clearer. More changes I made were a few in the forest scene, at first we didn't think we'd have much content, and only filmed some footage, however when we realised how good we could make this and how experimental we could be we jumped on the oppertunity to film more, and soon had a good 10 minutes worth of running through the forest clips.
