The opening clip consists of a character stood underneath a lamppost as a car approaches. We first filmed this scene in the dark though the lighting meant that any detail was lost entirely. We resulted to filming the scene again in dusk to gain more detail. The above clip is a composited clip of the raw footage and the edited. The raw is blue and the edited is black and white.
Creation Process - Camera
Before filming, we implemented a great technique for filming 'Night for Day'. This can be achieved by setting the light function to 'Tungsten' and lowering the exposure to the lowest the camera offers. This, effectively, takes less light into the shutter and gives the clip the blue tinge of night.
Creation Process - Final Cut Pro X
Once the shots had been filmed we found that the shot being so blue would not be so convincing and also, as a juxtaposition with the Tarantinoesque titles for it to be Film Noire. We completely desaturated the clips, before lowering the exposure and upping the contrast. Furthermore, we masked around the character and lightened the clip so that it gave the impression that the lamp post above him was on.
