Post Production of Map & Networks Project (2)

This is a second major update for the edit and a few things has changed to make the film in a better flow.

First, the green screen part. I have been trying to fix the skin tone but it was still to red. So I try to think of another way to make the skin tone not so noticeable by creating fast cuts of images. So instead of staying longer on screen the images come in and out of screen fast.

Getting fast cuts

The result didn't turn out great. It looks way too tacky because the images are flashing. It ruins the whole film. I decide to stick to the original edit for the green screen part. 

The second major change is the positioning of the news headlines. Instead of having them all on the face mask one after another, I put them in between the shots through out the whole film. The original plan was to project the images of the news headlines on the face mask on the shot day but it flickers when shown on camera. So I might as well split them up to be shown in between shots to slowly feed the news facts to the viewers. It turns out well and sets the style the of film.

The third major change is the transitions. I added some "dip to colour white" to create a flash visual effect. I layered some images in the beginning part of the film to give hint to the audience the theme of the film. It also allowed me to cut some footage shorter by placing the visual effect. 

Overall, the pacing and style is much better now. I am hoping I can get some sound done before the next tutorial. 

Fingers crossed.
