Location - Mansfield Rd Cemetery
Actors - Luke Burton (Main Character), Matthew Robinson (Grieving boss)
Props - Leafs, Empty Gravestone
Dress - Dark Hoody and trousers (Luke), Formal Suit (Matt)
Notes - Shooting will have to be done about an hour before sunset, so that images are progressive within time and darkness.
As you can see from the above images, the shoot came out really quite dark. I wanted to represent death as a good end to ones journey, instead of the usual doom and gloom associated with it. I used Photoshop’s batch action to create a feel for the short that would satisfy my needs for the representation. I used a variety of filters and adjustments (colour, saturation ext) to come up with the following look:
I really like the grain effect I have used, as it represents the process of aging really well. With this and a complete colour balance, I feel I have created a much warmer mood to the piece, again trying to look at death a different way to the norm.
