As you may have realised by now, we usually edit footage we have just filmed rather than filming all our scenes and editing once all the footage was collected. This is because we usually finish filming sooner than expected leaving us a lot of spare time so we usually just edit the footage. While we were editing the scene where Jamil hides Mr Romanov's body, we had one shot where the CCTV catches Jamil killing Mr Romanov. However, the shot with the CCTV looked very plain. A person who was peeping over our shoulder while editing said that it looked like it was a point-of-view shot from a person in the distance.
We wanted our film to feel realistic to allow the audience to be connected. For this reason, we decided to watch random police interception videos on YouTube to see how they present the appearance of CCTV. After watching a few videos, we realised that the common convention was that the screen:
- had a slight green tone with lower contrast levels
- A fuzzier look including less sharpness within the shot
- An indication in the corner that a CCTV camera is filming
