EDITING PROCESSESThe process of editing some of my original footage.
MINIPULATED ORIGINAL
WHAT CHANGES HAVE BEEN MADE TO THESE IMAGES?
The list changes that have been made to this piece of footage are to the left, I have converted the visual to black and white, altering the auto levels to intensify the
image. I have also played around with the lighting effects for this particular shot, forcing a spotlight onto my protagonist,
this shots spotlight is quite dramatic however it is not like this for all scenes,
some are more subtle than others. Adding the auto colour and contrast, again just
intensifies the image making all the darks darker and the lights more vibrant. This was quite a simple edit when it came to editing this particular piece of footage.

The changes that have been made to this footage, that is not the conventional changes I would make on every shot is the warp stabilizer and the noise
effect.The warp stabilizer is a fantastic tool for steadying your footage, it instantly cuts out that shaky look
and give it much more of a clean, smooth feel. Where as the noise alpha tool allows me to add
grain to the shot, for me this gave me that 1950s look I aspired to have, but also allowed me to
slightly blur this specific footage, I wanted most of the shots of a female to be mysterious and this
effect allowed me to add to that feel.

WHAT CHANGES HAVE BEEN MADE TO THESE IMAGES?
The changes that have been made to the actual visual look of these shots is very
basic, just a black and white filter, however when looking into the editing side of the shot, you notice that I have sped up the footage. I did this by right clicking on the footage and going to clip speed/duration,
which you can see on the left. I've sped up the footage making last just 3 seconds when originally a 24 second long clip.

WHAT CHANGES HAVE BEEN MADE TO THESE IMAGES?
The changes that have been made that are different to the other edits, are that I have
begun to play around with the way to footage has been played, I have reversed the footage
and sped it up slightly so that It played forwards and then backwards, creating this visually
appealing effect, especially with the prop of the smoke.
I have also edited all the usual aspects with the added one of the noise again to give that older
look to the shot.
