Avenged

By Jabooza of Nightfall Studios

Rating:      

Downloads: 544

This is a suspense/drama in which two teens find themselves involved in supernatural activity. It was made as an entry into Apple's Insomnia Film Festival within the 24-hour time limit and as required it includes these three items out of a list of required film elements:

NAME: Robin Darjeeling
NARRATIVE DEVICE:: Dream Sequence
EDITING TECHNIQUE: Match Cut

For the grading, we used EffectsLab pro but unfortunately, most of the grading was lost due to time restraints.
You can view the festival version or the final version of the film (not finished within the 24 hour time-limit) that has all of the completed grading as well few editing fixes.

Between minute 0:25 and 0:28 you have the camera slowly rising up (kinda shaking), But then the camera goes still at 0:29 yet still in the same place (I understand why though) you probably could have just changed the angle on the camera.
That one was deliberate. It's supposed to be a type of 'jump-cut' (not sure if that particular one would be technically considered a jump-cut, but you get what I mean).

I agree, that probably would have been better, although I don't think we have the equipment to do that successfully.

There's a few different shots in that space of time, if you meant the one where it shows Will walking up to the tree, then I see what you mean; his head is cut off. If you meant the shot of Will's brother walking threw the forest, I see what you mean, but I don't see that it's that big of an issue, considering the kind of over-head-ish shot that it is.

I did mean compose... But what I meant was some areas in the movie had to much head space and other just needed a little more... Some examples are... Between minute 0:25 and 0:28 you have the camera slowly rising up (kinda shaking), But then the camera goes still at 0:29 yet still in the same place (I understand why though) you probably could have just changed the angle on the camera.

Between minute 1:29 and 1:32 is an example of that head space I mentioned - just needed to tighten it up a bit. The rest of the camerawork from there on out is decent though.

Thanks for the comment SilverDragon! A couple questions though,

There wasn't any compositing in the movie. Do you mean composed? Could you give an example of how the shots could have been composed better so that we'll have a better idea of how to do it in the future? Also, yes, this movie was made in 24 hours.

Grading moved around quite a bit, but played it's part well.
The grading changed throughout the movie, which was intentional, for example the shot where you see Robin Darjeeling is desaturated and blue to convey a certain emotion, the movie takes place over the course of many years so it was necessary that the grading and lighting weren't always the same, nice to see you noticed that. Thanks again for the review SD, we appreciate it! -Jabooza
