The post-production process ran extremely smoothly. Using LumaFusion, I sequenced the 25 or so shots together, being sure to cut at the appropriate time for the two examples of match on action which I implemented.
I slowed the speed of one specific shot (throwing the squash down the sink) for dramatic effect. In addition, I added a title card, as well as credit titles.
Although I am pleased with my finished film, there are a number of things that could’ve been better:
- Making sure the focus is appropriately managed
- Controlled camera movements
- Background sounds should be lower in the mix, unless they are the focus
Overall, I think that the Kitchen Sink Drink project went relatively well. I enjoyed the conception of ideas, scriptwriting, as well as the filming process. My least favourite part of the project was definitely the floor plan and storyboarding.
I attempted to employ techniques throughout the film, such as matching on action and camera panning. In addition, I tried to obey the 180º rule throughout.
