Editing footage is really important to help footage stand out and highlight aspects of the narrative. We used premier pro to achieve this:
- By using Lumetri colour we were able to make our shots more eye-catching and bright, helping to convey the performer as vibrant and strong. We used a variety of different colours and used our own that we had created on the wheel to add authenticity. Not only can you just add colour but you can change the vibrancy and saturation ect. This has been very useful when wanting to add something extra to the footage and make it more fun and attention grabbing. The colours impact on the star image as they make the artist look more edgy which compliments the genre of R&B
- By using the effect controls we were able to change the positioning of footage, crop, rotate ect. This helped enlarge the desired areas of the image so it will make the audience concentrate on the specific area. By being able to position the star around it made us able to focus the star for when being viewed which could help portray a connection from the star to the performer so they don’t feel isolated and feel involved. It also helped when he had filmed footage too far away and needed to crop out things that didn’t fit in to the narrative or comply with Mis-en-scene (such as plug sockets)
- Using generate has helped with adding unique effects to the footage, for example we used lighting in ours to add something small and new. There are other special effects that we could use such as lens flare, and 4 colour gradient. Using bold effects represent the genre R&B as they are all confident, strong artists. It also displays a power for the star image, we used colours such as purple and orange to convey power.
