We wanted to make our footage appear as if it was filmed in the night. Whilst filming we decided not to film our actual footage in the night because we thought that we would have trouble seeing the footage and that the quality of the video would be poor.
When editing the footage, we used the effect 'river rock studios - day for night' to give the impression that the film was shot in the dark. However, we faced some problems with doing this as some of the footage appeared darker than others, causing it to be too dark to see. To overcome this problem we used the effect of 'Brightening and Contrasting' to alter the clip's light so that it could be seen. Although, while doing this we had to be careful not to brighten the clip too much so that it would look dissimilar to the other clips.
We also used fading on some of the clips so that it gave a more smooth sequence instead of immediately flicking into different scenes and shots.
