The post-production work in 'Lunch'

This video is a part of 'Lunch' which is Roger's cultural differences task. In the video, the actor was played two characters at once. The reason why we do that is firstly because the realistic problem, we can not find another actors to act the role. Secondly, it shows one person experiences different lives between Britain and China. So making the video this way can deal with the problem short of actors, and present our theme in a supernatural way.

 

How we make it is that, when shooting, we do not change any parameter of camera, just keep it static, and shoot the same scene twice. One is the actor comes in from left side; the other is from right side. In the post-production process, I use the Rotobrush, mask the left side actor off frame by frame. Finally, I composite the left actor with the right one, it becomes to the video above.

 

From making this video, I have learned that post-production is like magic, it could not only make film reality but also change the way of narration. Besides, I have gained post-production experiences when making a film. It relevant with the supernatural events in my future project.
