After downloading Final Cut Pro X for my Macbook, I decided I wanted to see what I could do with the camera on my iphone. Unfortunately, the HD Quality is not what it should be because importing the footage from the iphone to my macbook proved to be a problem. I had to instead send the footage directly to Youtube and then download it off there, before importing it into Final Cut to be editted:
Iphone -> Youtube -> Macbook -> Final Cut Import -> Export to Vimeo
- I have now got around this problem.
In the first half of the video, I focused mainly on giving the car journey a 'cinematic-look' by using effects such as 'Dream' and 'Vignette'. I then carefully used colour manipulation techniques such as'Hue/Saturation' and 'Colorize' as well as adjusting colour. To further this 'cinematic' style I then added a'letterbox' (the horizontal black lines either side of the video) and used 'Artifacts' to create the circular orange/yellow blur effect.
In the second half, I used similar effects but rather than going for a 'cinematic-look', I chose to try different colours to display a different mood for the piece. Here I used the 'Hard Light' effect and also experimented with effects such as 'radial', 'distort'. Later on, I used 'prism' to make the camera look like it had a different lense on it and used 'droplet' to create a circular effect which catches the audience's eyes. I ended both halves with the 'flashing' effect which I think is particularly useful. In both cases, I used a different degree of intensity to fit the mood conveyed.
