P3(c) Applying Visual Effects and Transitions

this is a screenshot of the toolbar in Premier Pro. It contains the most used tools such as the cutting tall where It allows me to cut a shot to make it smaller  This enabled me to change the length of the clip to fit in and run smoothly in my film opening.

Effects

Below is a screenshot of the video effects premier pro here i am selecting the  brightness and contrast effect so i am able to adjust the brightness and contrast of the selected clip in order suit my film 

below is a screenshot on premier pro the brightness and contrast tool i am adjusting the brightness and contrast from 0 to -67 this is because the video clip i shot with the canon camera turn outfaily bright and i wanted to make them slightly darker in order to sit the dark and mysterious film this gave the desired effect and matched the film genre perfectly 

below is a couple of example clips here i have used the contrast and saturation and moved it from 0 to -39 this made the image slightly darker with slight more cinematic feel to th scene this suited the dark an mysterious introduction of the character

before











after

i selected a cross deslove in the video transition effect to use on this specific clip transition onto the next clip

 

 you can see that by putting the transition effect at the end clip it cross desloves into the start of the next clip making the film more interesting and visual pleasing rather then just changing from clip to cut to clip which can get boring for the audience

this first image fades into the next image which gives a slow steady transition into the next clip

Below i have taken a screenshot of an opening credit at the start of my film "the bad influence" I added this by selecting title in the effect controls and dragged the title onto this specific cip

Here i have used adobe arabic for my font and i changed the font colour to white i fit this so that it was in contrast with the background helping it to stand out more for the audience  as you can see i have also added a shadow to the text this easily seen when using a white font and in order to create a bigger contrast i used a shadow in order for me to achieve this
