Lighting

The lighting for my opening sequence was totally different in two parts in the two different scenes. One being the opening scene, set at night in the a very dark setting, was hard to film as if we had no light at all you would not be able to see anything on film. So therefore some of the shots were filmed in the night where the darker shots were needed, some (when shot from inside the building) would have some kind of background light to help highlight what the camera is focusing on but still letting the set look dark. On one day we did film in the daylight and what we did there was edit the lighting on the macs, by editing the colour scheme on the actual clip. On some clips it looked really good and others it either washed out the whole clip or did not look like it was set at night at all. The jump cut at the beginning was from a mixture of shots that were set at daytime and at night time and watching the clips together, you would not notice. It was very hard to make sure that where in some shots some areas were highlighted or there was light coming from a certain direction, in the following shots this same light had to carry through. 
As you can see in the following shots below;


The light starts off coming through the door and then in the next shot....


You can see the light coming from the same direction, this was from where we were shooting in the daylight as you can see we have just edited the clips to change the clip colours. Below is how you do this...




 
In the last scene, in the girls bedroom, it is set in daylight which was all natural light and as you can see from the image below the light is coming through the window on the left.
