Disconnected

This film transitions from cold, isolated blue tones that reflect digital distraction into warmer orange tones that represent the non-digital world. What made this project different was working collaboratively with a DP. Stepping into the director role, allowed me to see this story through a more experienced eye and with the added hand I was able to understand how importance of good crew collabertion espically between head of department.

During, this project I also took on the role as colourist. While I'm still actively improving my colour grading skills, I would have loved to have a dedicated colourist on board. This could have allowed the story to fit tone I orginaly intented.

I also working with a composer for the first time which added a layer I didn't even consider but I'm glad I did. The music help elvate the disconnection within a family home perfectly. I plan on perhaps submitting this film to festivels.

One lesson I learned from my privious work was the importance of perperation and assuming Murphies law (Everything that can go wrong, will go wrong). For this reason, we built in a proper prep day. Where we were able to walk through our full plan in advance, testing out each shot and lighting setup. This made us spot a some mistakes we would otherwise had to fix while filming. Having a day to test removed a lot of guesswork on set.
