Production of Music video - Skills Development - Editing : Colour Filter

I have spent a lot of hours editing our project, using the most of all our shots trying to maximise the best slot for each one. The hard thing about editing this video was choosing the filter. The theme of our song is indie so I decided to make our video looks as gloomy as it can without it looking too dark.  For this I used colour corrector three-way.

As you can see I have lowered the saturation way down so the video doesn't contain too much colour. Our filming days we had really nice and sunny weather but unfortunately for our video we wanted the weather to be sort of dark and cloudy. However using colour corrector has made our video visually look gloomy and has more of an Indie effect.

 We have 2 different filters, one for our base tracks and one for the artists memory.

This is a screenshot of one of our shot without the filter.

As you can see there is a massive difference between the first shot and the next shot. The filter makes the shot look really professional and cinematic, giving it a gloomy and low saturated effect.

For our second filter, as we wanted to show the shots were from the past, a memory, I decided to go for a more black and white approach.

This is the shot for the memory without the filter on.

I have learned a lot about using colour corrector and gaining experience every time I'm editing, trying the best to make the video look cinematic and entertaining.
