colour grading.

I have been editing sections of my film until I found the effect which i chose to use, I chose to use a blue/grey grading on the footage and I also increased the contrast and brought down the brightness, iI chose to do this because it creates a more bleak atmosphere for the film. The story line of the short film fits the style this creates. I took the inspiration for this style from the beginning sequence of the film 'The Book Of Eli' directed by the Hughes brothers in 2010. This films description: A post-apocalyptic tale, in which a lone man fights his way across America in order to protect a sacred book that holds the secrets to saving humankind. This is a close parallel of my short film, although at the beginning i did not use this film for inspiration i feel now that i have used this story line and effect subconsciously to create my short film.

Due to changing my idea in a completely different context i have decided to drop this idea as it would not fit in with my idea as i am not looking for that eary look, the reason i chose to do this is because i believe that my new idea for my short film is a better and more serious message. Creating more of an impact on the consumer by tackling a real issue.
