While editing, I basically had to look at the same shots over and over. This got very repetitive to say the least. Eventually, I started realizing how bland some of the shots seemed. Maybe this was just because of how many times I looked at the same things, but I still wanted to do somethings about it.
So, I looked towards filters.
I was thinking about downloading a preset from the internet, but I also wanted to keep the original charm from the camera. I experimented with changing contrast and saturation, and I really liked how increasing just the saturation looked like. It wasn't too drastic; it was just a subtle change. Here's a difference for reference:
I think this change is rather beneficial for our film opening since it brings more life to the shots. The yellows seem more yellow, the reds seem more red, the greens seem more green, and so on. This subtle saturation increase probably wouldn't be noticed unless it was compared with the original shots, so I like that this change is not what draws the audience's attention. Rather, it just makes the viewing experience more enjoyable.
I know many films and TV shows use filters or change their saturation, so why not include such a change in this project?
Anyway, just wanted to update you guys!
