Post Production & Colour Manipulation

From the very beginning of planning our production, we knew that the post production methods we employed would be crucial to the look and feel of the finished piece: post-production techniques can have a great bearing on how a film is percieved by the audience.

The ways in which we have manipulated colour contrast within the film give a dark and surreal look. The overly contrasted colours cause a small amount of blurring along lines where colours intersect: this gives us a means with which to show the mental state of the character, whilst improving the films overall aesthetic greatly. What was once overly bright and flat looking footage has now been converted to look full and deep in colour and shadow.

We have also used post-production as a means with which to enhance the films narrative, by inserting frames from the guide from which the film takes its name. This allows the audience to see what information the guide contains, and why the protagonist is blindly following it's orders without hesitation or thought.
