We did realize you can see the titles better with the exposure a bit higher on certain parts, so we greatly thank Rose for that recommendation. Moving on, we focused on Alyssa's feedback.

If we did not change this, the chances of hearing our voices in the film would be more difficult. It was a good catch by Alyssa that we didn't think of originally. Finally we took Charlize's advice.

She showed me the process of how to achieve this. Rose's feedback was to change the lighting a bit. At times it was a bit too dark for her liking, and she suggested why we should raise the exposure a bit. She als...
