Test Project

Video summary:

Software stability testing
- Perspective mode - Still shots
- Similarity mode - Moving shots
  - This is because when using the perspective more for moving shots causes the shot to warp.
Colour grade testing
- Referencing Tutorial as a template
  - Use of Existing LUTs as templates
- Create LUTs into themes of the video.
  - Export new LUTs I have created to be used in the main project
    - Of course, each clip will not be the same so I will be using the LUTs I have created as templates and adjusting the setting to see fit.
- Idea - Make a LUT pack and link it to the video's description as I have sorted the colour grading into folders already.

I thought making a test project would allow me to test techniques such as stabilisation and how the footage may look with some colour grading. I have chosen to do this because I want to organise my main project and make the workflow a bit easier and less cluttered, so I have done all the testing in this project.

Main Project timeline

Video summary:

Main focus on establishing shots like Studio Ghibilly films
- Mixed in with slow-motion, Reverse & Timelapeses to add interest.
- Clips with no audio:
  - Slow-motion, reversing & time-lapse
    - Changing of the speed messes with the audio so I decided to take it out.
    - Sounded within the theme so kept it that way
  - Clips with audio in no relation to what's on screen
    - Distracting for the audience
Low light shooting with a shutter speed the same similar to the Hz of the light bulb causes it to flicker
- Oversight when shooting, will make note of it during the next shoot
- Deflickering tool not available for free version of Resolve
  - Lecturer advice:
    - Make a duplicate of clip
    - Make it 50% opacity
    - Shift it 1 frame forward.
  - Unfortunately, this doesn't work as well as I hoped for some of the clips. others worked better.
    - Best cause of action is to prevent this from happening during the shoot.
Limitation of the field recorder:
- Wind noise has proved to be pretty apparent though out some of the clips.
  - this is because the pop filter is not designed for heavy winds and only for speech.
  - Artistically speaking, this sounds more realistic of the experience of London and in some cases added to the short film
    - Though, hearing the wind itself through a mic isn't comfortable.
    - Note: Research this during Cambridge Research week
