Changing the saturation and colour in our clips


When we went through our video we had a lot of feed back on the quality of our video and found that one of our main issues was that we hadn't changed the colour and the lighting/saturation/exposure of our clips which made the footage look too raw.
In response to this we started to change all of the lighting and colouring in our footage which showed us what we were being told as from how focused on the video we were and how we were mainly looking at just getting everything into place we didn't particularly look at the colour. Whilst editing this in our video we then realised that we had to change all our clips colouring and lighting as this really made some of the colours bolder and improved the quality and detail in a lot of our clips.


We particularly had a lot of trouble with the colour of the footage we took in Riverside as although this was the same clip running all the way through unfortunately at some point the sun must have come out which has caused a very significant change in the lighting in the footage and it something that we have spent a lot of time on it to correct. 


In some of our clips we didn't find much wrong with the lighting or exposure but thought as we have changed the rest of our footage to have a warm undertone that we change them so this would be a continuous theme throughout the video. Although at the beginning we were apprehensive to change the colour of footage we found it very beneficial and are happy to have made this change as it has made our footage much less dull. Also a lot of the clips taken outside needed much more correction than the clips from indoors so it did take quite a lot of time but as a group we are happy that this change improved our video significantly than what it had looked like previously.
