The document logs changes made to a film's footage, including: 1) Applying color correction LUTs to give the film a gritty, cinematic look by adjusting the LUT opacity where it darkened scenes. 2) Adding fade ins and fade outs using keyframes for more fluid transitions rather than Premiere Pro's preset methods. 3) Using the razor tool to cut unnecessary footage and focus on important parts. 4) Applying the displacement map effect in After Effects to a logo for a stylized melting outro.

Changes Why?
Colour Correction The finished version of the filmbefore
colour correction looked very plain to me.
So, in order to fix this, I decided to
download some LUTs from the internet
that would colour correct the video to give
the final version a cold and gritty feel to it
as I imagined the final version of the video
to have a Gotham/Batman type of feel to it.
The cinematic colour correction LUT gave
the video a very gritty feel to it. However,
there were parts of the final version where
the cinematic LUT made the video very
dark. So, in order to fix this problem, I
messed around with the opacity of the LUT
to fix the problem. In the end the final
version of the film looked better with the
cinematic LUT as it gave the final version of
the film a cinematic look to it.
Fade ins and Fade outs/Cuttings I also added keyframes to control the fade
ins and the fade outs of the final edit. The
keyframe methods of fade ins and fade
outs were easier to control rather than
using the pre-set built inside of Premiere
Pro. I used the keyframes for the opacity to
add in fade outs and fade ins so the
transition seemed more fluid and didn’t
end abruptly.
I also used the razor tool to cut out the
non-wanted parts of the footage so the
final edit only featured the parts that were
important towards the movie itself and
didn’t linger around.
Graphics – Outro/Logo I only used the graphics once throughout
the edit of the movie. I used a logo that I
had produced earlier on Photoshop. In
order to make the outro look more stylised,
I used Adobe After Effects and used the
displacement map effect so the logo would
melt down as it was shown.
