Brief 03 Car Colour Correct - First thoughts

In this sequence, there are two shots, both panning shots. The aim here is to stabilise the footage, and place the car and any other possible components from footage 1 of the car on its own, into footage 2, with the gate on the background. It may be good to add in the puddle, even the gravel perhaps, giving the road a more country-like feeling.

The first thing that must be done though is to make a matte out of the car, covering over the entire body, boot, and under-shadow of the car. One thing that sticks out are the windows, so rotoscoping those out as will help add realism, so when the colour correct is used for the shot, not only will it look a part of the image, but the windows will give it some more depth in terms of realism.

Making the car look to be a part of the shot will take time in colour correcting,the shadow underneath the car will be a prime focus in creating realism, if this is tweaked well, then the windows and the shadow will make the car seem to have more naturalism.

Any additives such as the puddle in the footage 1 shot, shall have to be practiced with once the car is fully colour corrected and intergrated into the backplate, for if the puddle is to be used, what would be reflected in the water, the trees are shown in the first footage, but there is a gate and a hill in the second one, there is a lot more going on between them both, so before any additional ideas will be worked, making sure the car is fully intergrated into the second shot fully before starting to add puddles, gravel or reflection.
