Scene 1 reshoot

During the reshooting, we decided to reshoot Scene 1 entirely. This is not as difficult to do as the other scenes, as scene 1 is only 4 shots. We decided to do this because in our first attempt we had no portable outdoor lighting, meaning we had to rely on the street lights. This turned out very dark with bright orange highlights wherever the street light would shine through.
For the reshoot, one LED light was placed at a distance, providing general lighting for the shots and acting as the Fill light. While closer to the subjects, Stephen handheld the second LED light behind the car. This acted as the Back light, and in some shots the Key light.
In the new scene we also repositioned the camera as to make the cuts seem more seamless. The original's first cut was a jump cut, hidden only by the darkness of the frame. The new scene cuts from the side of the car, to the front, giving enough room to show Lucy exiting the car. The tire kick is used as an match on action cut just as before only it lower to the ground and the Key light is directed at the tire, so it can actually be seen.
This has all been improved further in the final version with slight colour correction shifting the highlights to a blue hue.
