When we were planning our film opening we all agreed on adding a black and white filter in post-production to imitate films made in the era our film is set. However Pip then had the idea to use a colour isolation technique to highlight the ruby in the ring as demonstrated in the 1993 film, Schindler's List. This excellent idea would instantly make the ring stand out and the with the colour red symbolising lust and danger it would foreshadow the protagonist, Catherine's imminent death.
Bella then suggested using Adobe CS5 to achieve the colour isolation on our footage. She also said when it came to filming we would have to make sure that nothing else in the frame could show any redness, otherwise the programme would identify those red pixels as well as the red ring and the whole effect would not work. However, when Bella came to creating the red colour isolation in post-production, it was picking up the redness in our actress' hands and unfortunately, it has not worked meaning we won't be able to use colour isolation in our opening. We are quite downhearted about this as the ring has so much significance in our film, however becuase of this it will lose a lot of that significance we had based our whole film around.
