As a group we decided that our previous titles appeared too animated for our set genre so we thought of a new idea in which we experimented with in our previous lessons.
Here we used indian ink which we spatttered across a A3 page while filming, to get a interesting and gungy effect.
This video is of a few clips in which we liked and wish to do better on our next trail. Once we saw our footage we noticed numerous things that went wrong and could improve. The lighting was the main factor as in each clip the paper is shown to be a different colour due to it's lighting. If we were to shoot again we would use the 'white balance' effect on the camera to help avoid this. Moreover another problem encountered was the use of the paintbrush. We would have to use pipette to splash the ink avoiding the paintbrush to be seen within the shot. Furthermore, when practising this technique there was only two of us available to perform this thus the movement of the paper and the spattering of the ink as well as the camera filming was difficult to control therefore we would do this differently next time with all of us.
One problem that we found difficult to overcome was how to make the ink run without moving the paper too much (making a jagged effect), thus we were thinking of using a stand and filming with that instead of lying the paper flat across a table. This would also be easier for the camera as wouldn't have to move as much. We would just have to find a way of using the pipette with this stand to create this effect.
We're planning of reshooting this effect during a lunch time in which we know the art room would be free so we achieve something we are happy and can work with :)
