After we were pleased with how the clips were assembled/ran together and the way the sound flowed, we began editing the appearance of our clips. To start with we 'enhanced' the quality of our video and then we started to 'adjust' the light levels and so on. We made them appear duller and flat in a sense to suggest a sombre mood and suggest the theme of the film is quite dark in a sense. We then adjusted the saturation levels, this helped the video to still keep a strong sense of the colour within the clips without making them really bright.
During our planning we decided to incorporate an effect over the 'flash back' scenes to show a transition between the present police interview scenes and the past flash back scenes of Evie as a hostage. We originally considered just making them black and white but later came to the conclusion that that may look overly dull and still might not make it clear that they are indeed flashbacks. With this being said we decided to go with the 'vignette' effect which meant the clips still had colour but dark, almost faded edges. I think the use of this effect was a good choice as it made it clear that they were flashbacks and I feel it needs to be obvious that they are flashbacks otherwise the story line may be hard for our audience to follow.
