My Opening Two Minute Film : Editing to Create a Present Day Effect...

I have got my home-video footage and edited them to a degree in which I am happy with, it was therefore time to focus on my recently filmed footage which was of the interview and the extreme close up shots. I decided that similar to the home-videos I would dim the lightness as I personally thinks it makes me the transitions between the home-videos and present day footage more smooth by having the same tone of light. I also decided that in terms of the police interview scene, a dim light enhanced the sparse small interview room effect
The Interview Scene Effect
I therefore manipulated each of my footage clips in a few keys way:
+ Lightness = -10.0%
+ Saturation = -40.0%
Manipulating Lightness and Saturation
I personally think this footage is effective, by not editing I have created a real life effect which I wanted, it also does not distract the audience from the storyline and genre of the film, as crime thrillers are stero-typically known for there low lighting. Overall my film is all starting to come together and I am pleased with the work which I have created.
