Grain Experiment



Firstly, during editing, we had noticed that some of our shots included a lot of grain and visual noise which furthermore impacted the overall visual quality of shots. This became a problem as some grain within shots looked quite pixelated, therefore these shots were of a poor quality. To solve this issue, we had download adobe after affects which is a digital visual effects, motion and graphics and compositing application that we used within the post-production process of our teaser trailer. After effects can be used for keying, tracking, compositing and animation. To reduce the amount of noise reduction in our shots, we had imported our teaser trailer shots into after effects, we then used a tool called remove grain that enabled us to reduce shot pixelation but we also sharpened our shots to make them look more professional. To familiarise ourselves with the editing software, our group watched several tutorials on how grain can be removed and shot quality improved. Once we had used after effects, we noticed a significant change in the quality of our shots. By looking down below, you will see one of the shots in teaser trailer in both original and improved formats.
