We have finished editing the sequence for the film - we still have to colour grade but due to technical problems we aren't able to do that just yet.
Colour grading aside, I am so proud of this film. It has come out exactly as I had envisioned it, thanks to our amazing crew.
From working with actors on scenes, to organising women to come in to set for us to interview, everything went smoothly and we got exactly what we needed on every shoot.
From promoting it on the Instagram and Facebook page, we have gathered followers who are very excited to see it, and our tutor Andy has prompted us to want to submit it to film festivals.
*UPDATE*
The film is now colour graded and being exported. We have still had problems with exporting but Andreas has kindly been helping us.
Upon watching the final export - there is definite problems with the sound, The levels and the timing are slightly off which is incredibly annoying but we don't have time to fix it for the deadline - so we will try and fix it for the screening on Monday.
Because we were using 4 different types of camera, the colour grading was a bit of a challenge, and there is a definite change in quality between shots. We tried to mask this as best we could, but if we were to submit to festivals we may have to re-film certain parts to make it flow a little better.
I am still incredibly proud of the film - especially as it is the first film I have been able to direct within the Northern Film School. Ignoring the quality of some clips, the film itself turned out exactly as I had hoped.
The overal effect of the film is to make people feel uncomfortable, and to make them think about how they feel and view women in every day life. I chose not to discuss women's issues across the globe and to keep it more familiar. In the past few days, we have shown people small clips of the film, and they have given us the exact response we were searching for.
