Research: Editing

After viewing the editing used in 'Sin City', as a group we decided that it was effective using black and white/sepia footage with the contrast of the red dress and lipstick. We experimented using I-movie to create red lips on 'Hope' whilst having black and white footage. But were unable to find a setting which would allow us to do so, as we could only create a red beam on our footage which looked out of place when the actor moved.

After failing to create the red lips, we came to the conclusion that editing the footage using the black and white setting or the sepia, would convey the eerie atmosphere we were hoping for.

Equipment check list

Whilst planning the filming, we decided that it would be helpful to create a checklist of what we needed in order to film. After looking through our storyboard, we gathered a list of the props and planned who would need to bring what.  

OUR CHECKLIST:
-video camera
-camera
-hair brush
-nail varnish
