The document summarizes various post-production techniques used to edit a video project, including color balancing footage to create a moody look, cutting animated images to fit the music using speed and duration alterations, and adding effects like fades, dissolves, and grain to reinforce the dreamlike pace of the song and create cohesive transitions between sequences.

1. Post Production Log
We have used the colour balanceeffect to alter the hue, saturation and lightness of our video in order to
create a more moody look,fitting in with the softness of the song and narrativeof the video.
We cut our animated footage usingthe razor tool so that we were ableto alter the speed and duration of
separateimages so that they fit in time with the music and the rest of the video.
After cutting our footage we were ableto alter the speed and duration of individual images,a llowingus to fit
them in time with the music.This tool was very useful becauseit enabled us to alter the speed of footage
which we were otherwise unableto do on Stop Motion Pro software.

2. The Luma curve effect was very useful when we were brighteningthe colour of our animated footage so that
the images stood out and appeared more vibrant.
To ensure that our animated images fitthe screen after transferringthem from Stop Motion Pro, we added
titles to these images to create a background of the same colour so that there were no longer black boarders
around them.
We have used an exponential fade effect to fade out the audio towards the end of the song. This has worked
well as itfits in with the slow,dream-likepace of the song and video.
We added cross dissolves to create smoother transitionsbetween the liveaction and animated sequences,
addingto the dream-like effect of the video and slowpaceof the song.

3. We applied ‘dirty film’over my footage to create a grainy effect. This has worked well with the grey/blue hues
that we have applied and the stuttering movement of the animated sequences.
