1. We edited our clips to make colours more vivid and
less mundane in response to our audience feedback,
as people said that they thought the Three Sisters clips
could do with more colour and brightness as they
appear boring in contrast to the rest (eg. bowling
clips).
To touch up these outdoor clips, we simply boosted
the brightness and contrast as well as using the
equalize effect to make the colours within the shot
more vivid. This helped to bring out the natural
colours of the shots, despite being filmed on an
unfortunately dull day. George

2. Again, for the Tesco shots, we simply used equalize effect to boost the brightness of the
clips to give the footage more vibrancy, as the artificial lighting within the store dulled
the many colours captured, making everything appear plain and boring. This was a quick
and easy effect to apply and didn't take long to do.

3. We used equalize effect again to make the arcade footage more vivid in colour to avoid
mundane looking clips. For the bowling footage we didn’t need to tamper much with
the shots as most of them were bright enough already. However, we did boost the
brightness slightly to bring out all of the colours in the shot.

Because of the
artificial lighting in the
store the different
shots altered in
colour, this one being
more red than the
others, to even it out
we used RGB curves to
lower the amount of
red pixels in the clip.

4. As the inside of the train station was extremely dark and the settings were not set correctly on the
camera when filming, we had to adjust the brightness and colour by using the Luma corrector tool,
brightness/contrast and curves; because of this the clip is left with a grey tone to it however we
think this works well as a title clip. We added the title in a handwritten font in a soft grey colour to
compliment the grey of the clip and removed the background so you can see the clip playing
behind the text.

5. On top of this, we overlay another similar clip slightly smaller than the base clip,
also shot in Leeds train station. To this, we adjusted the colour by using Color
Balance (RGB) to boost the red, making the grey scale more golden and so that the
grey colour wasn't as evident. Also, we did this to make the title match the rest of
the vivid footage a bit better than before, as most of our clips incorporate colour in
some way. We also used equalize to boost the vibrancy, and then lowered the
opacity of the clip to give it an overlaying effect.

6. ALTERING THE SPEED Some of the clips we used were rather slow paced and so didn't match well with our
existing fast-take clips, therefore we used the clip speed/duration settings to boost the speed of these clips. The
result made the video flow better than it would if the clips were left at their normal speed.
For example, we altered the speed on the car driving clips, as they were originally rather slow paced. We made
the speed 150%, increasing it by half, so it fit better with the song. Also, these clips are placed where the first
chorus kicks in, a prime point in the song.

We also altered the speed of some clips such
as the confetti shot and some of the fireworks
to make them slower, as they work better at a
slower speed. This was more for the aesthetic
appeal of the video.

7. 7
We used video transitions from the dissolve category such as ‘cross dissolve’, ‘addictive dissolve’ and ‘dip to black’ to make
the clips flow more smoothly into one another, as well as leaving a few to be quick cuts.
For one clip, we used the ‘dip to black’ as the character puts his hand over the camera to cover it. By adding this effect it
allowed the clip to completely blackout before the change of location in the next shot (changes to Tesco clips) which is
effective as it breaks up the two sections of clips whilst continuing to flow naturally.
