So a couple of days ago I posted the finished piece that was the ‘Piracy is Wrong’ video. It didn’t go exactly to plan, however, because there were parts in it I’d rather have went another way. For example, the light in the face was meant to be a light behind a mysterious silhouette, but I didn’t have the resources for this technique(or it didn’t look good when I tried it) so I decided to go another way.
So for whatever reason, I decided to do it at night. I wrote up a script, and the idea of the lights flickering on and off came to mind. So I thought “I HAVE to include this somehow”. That’s how I thought of shooting it in the dark. It worked out well too, only some of the shots which weren’t included didn’t come out well, one downside to shooting in the dark I guess.
The reverb on Ycarip’s voice sounded great before it was exported, but it became a tad crackly, something which I couldn’t figure out, even after reducing the volume of the audio file. Something I’ll definitely have to look into, but I think it works.
Not a bad piece I think, definitely has a lot more room for improvement, but still, I think it works well, and achieves what it’s meant to.
