“As the rioting spreads and looters push police lines back, the shadows in the housing estate and high street grow longer and the oppressive environment takes on a life of its own. A young mum stresses out about her benefits, a struggling father has a barney with security guards at the Job Centre and teenagers grow angry with the police who dog their every move.”
As compositor on this project, I worked closely with the director and cinematographer to advise about the best way to capture elements such as greenscreen and multiple exposures in order to achieve the desired effects. I also composited some backgrounds.
This mixed media approach was new to me at the time, and I’m greatful I could learn from and be involved in a film with such a great style and message!
