RESEARCH & PLANNING - Flashbacks: colour change


As mentioned earlier on our blog we plan to adapt the colour of the shots which we edit together to show a distinct difference between the present time and the flashbacks. We have considered many different options, for example putting the present sad and depressed scenes in black and white/grey, or simply dulling the colour of them, or brightening the colour of the flashbacks to happier times. An example of this colouring technique which i have found is in the introduction to the TV programme "Gilmore Girls", I have posted the link for this below. However whether or not we are able to use this editing skill in our piece depends entirely on whether the ability to adapt the colour of the images is available on the software we are using for editing, if it is we shall experiment with a variety of colours and tones before deciding on the most suitable combination for our piece.
