Video editing


I used the fast colour corrector for this specific scene to try and accomplish a contrast of the picture that I was happy with. To start off with, the actor's skin looked sort of pink so I decided I wanted to change it to look browner.





Following on from the previous print screen I decided I then wanted to brighten the scene, once I had done this I thought it made it look the picture have quite a vintage effect.






For this edit sequence I used a cross dissolve of two different shots in the same location but of the actor doing different things. I think this works very well and looks effective due to the fact two emotions of the actor are shown at the same time.





For this sequence I used the 'fade to white' effect. I chose fade to white instead of black due to the second clip having a light background but a dark setting, so if I chose to fade to black it would overall seem too dark.














Animations

To make the video more interesting, during the planning of the storyboards I though it would be a good idea to include some sort of animation. So I came up with the idea of painting a red heart on a white piece of paper, and then the next shot being of the heart being ripped apart. Here are the images of the painted heart I did myself, and then the heart ripped up. Using Adobe Photoshop I then edited a few of the photo's to see if I could make them look better, I did this by increasing and decreasing/increasing the brightness, adding shadows and highlighting certain parts of the photo.
