Editing of Individual Clips

I have had to edit all of the individual clips for our movie, this is because, the programme we are using (Premiere Pro) to comprise all of the footage together requires the files to be a different format. Seeing as the clips needed to be darkened and tweaked, I did it at the same time using after effects. In after effects I used the brightness and contrast however, i didn't apply it to the clips themselves i created an adjustment layer, applying it to that. this adjustment layer meant that I could delete the clips and add the next one to be edited without having to transfer effects across.if you look below you can see the before and after, (before on the right and after on the left) you can see how the clip is darkened and the shadow more pronounced.

I have also created a CCTV look for the clips which is shown below however, the video is a teaser trailer i made for our film consisting of CCTV footage in reverse. there is also a step by step guide to how I did it.

step one - the first step is to add a vignette, you can find this by typing vignette into the effects and presets tab. this adds a black gradient around the edges.

step two - the second step is to add a pre-made effect called "night vision", once again this can be found by typing night vision into the effects and presets; simply drag and drop it on to the clip.

step three - is to change the colour of the night vision effect, from green to either black or a green/blue, this is to add a close circuit TV camera

step four - after the colour is perfected it is time to add the timecode, this can be found in the effects tab Effects-Text-Timecode you can then change the frame rate of the counter, and the starting frame.

step five - now to create the camera name and date of recording, to do this create two black rectangles, then wright camera number, area, and date. then turn on action safe and adjust the position of the boxes. 

step six - lastly the frame rate of the clip has to be changed, this can be done by pressing ctrl/cmd K then changing it down to about 4 frames a second this will give it the jumpy look you get on cctv cameras

I was also going to add some special effect into the clips such as, blood splats, fog, etc. However, with the technical difficulties with the usb stick I lost all the video copilot files, files containing preset clips of blood, fog, mist and more. These files can be dropped straight on to a clip and edited from there onwards.
