Where will your money go to?

All the money we received from you will go to the production budget for the film. This film is a graduation film for the London Film School. We have already finished the principal photography back at September 2017 on location in South of Iceland. The edit has been done and the film is waiting in the editing suite to be taken into the next level.

Now, we will need the fund for the post-production for the film. The cost of post-production can be categorized into 3 main parts:

Sound effects and mixing

This film involves a lot of dream sequences. Approaching the end of the film, the dream and real world start to mix together. It is important to recreate the surreal soundscape to fit in the stunning landscape and performance captured in the film.

Colour grading

The look of the raw footage can only be visualized correctly with grading. Grading is very important in post-production as it determines the final look of the film. This film happens in a surreal world and thus the grading will play a big role in creating that particular look.

Music

Lastly, good film music can definitely help the story-telling of the film. The film will be covered by quite an amount of music. We are hoping to spend our budget on recording musician playing their instruments instead of using synthesized tones and notes, and this means we will need to book in musicians and studios for recording.
