EDITING MY FOOTAGE - EFFECTS

ORIGINAL COLOUR

This is the original colour of my footage, due to the low lighting on set the image doesn't look as effective as I think it could look. I want the image to look quite dark to reflect the mood of the character and to do this I sampled different effects on IMovie.

DAY TO NIGHT

The 'Day to Night' effect proved to look the best in creating the dark and dingy look and reflecting the mood of my character. I really like this effect and will most definitely use it throughout my movie. 

VIGNETTE

The vignette effect does make the footage a little bit darker, however, I dont really like the effect. What I do like about it is that it makes the character centre staged and all focus on him, yet it doesn't reflect the mood in which I want to create.

BLACK AND WHITE

Initially I had plans to use the black and white effect yet I didn't realise how harsh it actually was. It reduces the quality of the image and I do not like it at all, It enhances the lighting in the background and doesn't look effective at all. 

SEPIA

The sepia effect doesn't really make the footage stand out it looks dull and like the black and white, it enhances the lighting in the background. I dont like this effect either.
