Lighting


After much trial and error through experimenting with various settings on the camera, we found that the lighting was far too warm, giving the image a yellow/orange tone and some graining due to excessive dark spots. This was not suitable to the aesthetic we wanted to achieve for our trailer, as we felt it created quite an amateurish appearance. To solve this we decided to change the bulb of the main light in the hallway of Aimee's house, and researched what we needed in order to create the brighter, more balanced tone we were looking for.

Watts:
Watts are a measure of the amount of energy a lightbulb uses. A standard 100W bulb will produce 1,600 lumens.

CRI value:
Colour Rendering Index -  works on a scale of 0 to 100 percent measuring how accurate a 'given' light source is at rendering colour when compared to a 'reference' light source. The higher the CRI, the better the colour rendering ability.


What we needed:
Kelvins:                                                                7,000+ K
Watts:                                                                   70+ W
CRI Value:                                                           aprox. 80

What have you learned from your audience feedback? What we learned After showing the trailer for ‘Borderlines’ to our target audience, the response we received overall was extremely positive. We found that our dramatic use of sound and editing techniques in conjunction with the professional use of camera work made the storytelling shine through and effectively engaged the audience. This was shown by the fact that the audience was able to formulate an idea of what might happen in the rest of the film, creating a talking point without giving too much of the plot away. A majority of the audience was able to identify the genre of the trailer, sitting between drama and coming of age. It was pointed out that this was made apparent though the use of camerawork and framing, as well as the more naturalistic and subtle use of colour correction and layering of diegetic audio with appropriate emotive music and voiceover. We also received feedba...
