My exploration of editing and post-production culminated with the "CRACKSPOT" dissertation project, where I took on the pivotal role of editor, delving deeper into the art of visual storytelling.
Managing the Digital Imaging Technician (DIT) responsibilities on set, I ensured seamless continuity by swiftly transferring and backing up footage. This allowed for uninterrupted filming, always ensuring a secondary storage card was readily available when the primary camera storage reached capacity.
Piecing together scenes from limited behind-the-scenes documentation was akin to solving a puzzle. Moreover, the intricate process of colour grading transformed raw footage into a distinct visual narrative, bringing the story to vivid life on screen.
Exploring the nuances of colour grading with the Blackmagic camera expanded my understanding of visual storytelling. It felt akin to painting, where adjusting colour balances brought the film's narrative to vivid life.
Notably, "CRACKSPOT" received recognition as a finalist for "Best Post Production" in our University's Graduate Showcase, acknowledging the dedication and efforts put into the project.
This project was an enlightening journey through the fascinating realms of editing and colour grading, offering insights that continue to shape my approach to visual storytelling in film.
