New Editing Technique - Colour Correct

Above are 2 screen shots from our opening sequence. The first is before colour correct the second is after. As you can see the effect makes the footage have a slight blue tint to it. The reasoning behind this was to make the first scenes in Ashley's estate looking area to seem 'depressed'. The blue colour connotes a coldness that represents the glum aspect to our characters home life.


However, we also used colour correct to make the second half of our opening to stand out more and make it seem bright and having a warm glow. This occurs with the change in music and change in setting as his surroundings suddenly become more up-lifting. This further establishes Ashley's transition form the negative of his estate life - to the positive nature of his education surroundings.

A subtle effect but one we found really worked with the narrative of our opening
