Editing of Band Scenes

When the shots from the band scenes had been loaded into my editing software, there was argument as to how visually they were to differ from both the dullness of her life and the vibrant new world she enters.

I, at first, experimented with brightness and contrast of the band scenes. I however believed that more could be achieved by adding effects and altering the colour.

In relation the the leaves that fall, I created a more orange-like hue upon the picture. I then took a different outlook for the band scenes. When thinking that this band is representing her sub-conscious, I decided to place a white glow upon the band. This however did not seem to work with the spotlights upon the band. The band scenes were then placed into greyscale. Stepping away for a moment, from the editing I began to think more of the contrast of the leaves, entering another world, the spotlights used and her sub-conscious. I wanted to avoid placing a harsh colour upon the band, but for it to appear more unrealistic. A sepia hue was placed upon the band scenes and light rays were added. These allowed for the band to appear to shine. I still wanted it to appear darker at the beginning, before the spotlights lit up the band. I therefore, allowed for only the light rays to appear when the spotlight did. To also allow for emphasis upon the artist, I added darker panels beside the artist, to hide the other band members to allow the audience to not figure what was to happen next.
