Using Effects 3


Other effects I used throughout the editing of my video were the RGB Curves tool and three-way colour corrector which allowed me to slightly adjust the colours and lighting of some of my clips. The RGB Curves tool allowed me to change the amount of white and black present in my clips, therefore by altering this setting I could add more white to make clips brighter and add more black to make things darker. This tool came in very handy when I had shots that were either too dark or too light against the rest of my video, therefore by using this effect I could match each shot up in my video to ensure the lighting was correct and worked well.
 
   
 As you can see from the screenshots above, just by simply adding a small amount of white into the shot it has completely transformed the look and allowed the shot to look professional, it is a lot brighter than it was before and the background is now clearer. Small adjustments like this one can make a big difference to the final result of a video just because before the effect was added the appearance was so different.
