Post-Production with Partial Footage


My first step during post-production was importing all the videos that I took into Adobe Premiere Pro and renaming them according to what shot they were, for organisational purposes.

Following this, I downloaded The Lady is a Tramp to iTunes using an online Youtube to MP3 Converter. The song downloaded straight to iTunes where I could then drag it over to my project on Premiere Pro.

I began to lay down the footage that I had, so that my sequence was ready for the reshoot footage to be slotted in.

It was during this stage that I realised my mistake of the lighting on my actor during the theatre shoot. Some feedback from one of my teachers was to test out applying a black and white filter over my male's shots to disguise the shadow cast over his face, however I discovered that this didn't work. After lots of playing about with the shot, I found that the best thing that worked was a simple increase in brightness with some minor colour correction to balance out the colours. This worked to an extent - the extent being that the quality was compromised, and gained a grainy effect.




Despite the grainy effect, it was better than before:

This is what my sequence looked like after I had layed down the first batch of footage I had:
