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

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.

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.

As the inside of the train station was extremely dark and the settings were not set correctly on thecamera 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 wethink this works well as a title clip. We added the title in a handwritten font in a soft grey colour tocompliment the grey of the clip and removed the background so you can see the clip playingbehind the text.

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 ColorBalance (RGB) to boost the red, making the grey scale more golden and so that thegrey colour wasn't as evident. Also, we did this to make the title match the rest ofthe vivid footage a bit better than before, as most of our clips incorporate colour insome way. We also used equalize to boost the vibrancy, and then lowered theopacity of the clip to give it an overlaying effect.

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.

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 itallowed 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.
