Brief 02 Fight and forest Sequence, 001-1089 - First thoughts

This small sequence is very pacey with the camera work and framing, therefore, to work on the footage more in depth, mark down it's light settings, and make it brighter whilst working on the roto scoping, to help better mark out the 'red glass interior' of the 'container' in the shots. To begin with, looking at the first five shots:

1. This shot is rather dark, but at about 00:05 seconds into that first shot, near the very end, the entirety of the glass 'container', glass interior and the mans hand can be seen, this shot will help when rotoscoping, seeing as his hand as well as the 'container' are both in shadow until they come into the light, so making the rotoscope on this frame and keyframing backward will help.

2. This shot comprises of three rotoscopes or more: The man, the container, and the branch. Throughout the shot, the man begins staying quite still, the branch waves above his head, whilst the container moves in his hands, just at the bottom right of the shot.  Outline these, thinking about how the shot progresses, it will help when the mans head turns and the container leaves the frame near the end.

3. This clip has some movement to it, so taking a lot of time going frame by frame to make sure it matches the movement of the shot will create a clean matte. Trying to stabilize the shot when the container comes into view may help when rotoscoping the individual glass interior as well as the hand and the overall container.

4. This shot is quick, and also dark, it will take a lot of time to make sure the glass interior is shown as well as the container of the hand. Lighting up the shot during the rotoscoping to see his hand is advisable for the movement and the container. It would be wise to make sure to bring it back to its original composition, unless told it would be necessary or the extra lighting can be kept inside the shot.

Overall, this sequence will need a lot of patience and planning, as there is an lot of movement in the shots, especially shot three and four in the sequence. Overall, apart from the shot two and three, the others are dark, so the artists should be careful when rotoscoping, and perhaps should lighten up the shot to make rotoscoing easier, bring the brightness down again so that the shot is brought back to how it was lit originally, but with the added roto.
