Editing - Altering the Colour

As mentioned before, the montage section needs to be edited in a way that differs from the rest of the music video. In previous posts, I have attempted to create an aged effect on the video, although this has been unsuccessful in my opinion. Therefore, I will try to use a simpler technique that I am more comfortable in using to try and gain a better end product.
Altering the colours of the video will enable me to signify a clear difference between the montage section and the other areas of the video. As shown below, there are several steps to changing the colours and overall effect of the video clip, which I will briefly describe.

1. Firstly, you must select the clip you want to alter, and then apply the effect. This opens the tab shown above; I used the 'Color Corrector' effect, but there are also other effects available to use.
2. If you want to adjust the tint of the clip, the two wheels are needed. The left wheel changes the balance of the clip, so if the cursor is moved to a yellow area, a yellow overlay is placed upon the clip. The density changes according to how far away from the centre the cursor is moved.
3. The right wheel changes the hue of the clip. When the cursor is moved, all the colours of the clip change in unison; a green tree and be turned to red using this tool, for example.
4. The top three toggles shown are all linked to one another in the sense that they affect the brightness and contrast of the clip. To add more contrast, move the 'Blacks' cursor left and the 'Whites' right. The 'Mids' toggle alters the mid tones of the clip, and this is mainly used when the desired effect cannot be achieved through using the 'Blacks' and 'Whites' toggles.
5. The 'Sat' toggle represents the saturation of the clip - or how much colour there is. Moving the cursor left with remove colour, making the clip closer to monochrome, whilst moving it right will accentuate the colours, making the bolder and brighter.

For our montage section, we decided to increase the contrast and saturation, with the extent of which changing depending on the clip. The use of the two wheels helped us to highlight the colours of the clips, and to focus on the colour with the largest coverage. For example, a shot of us on grass would be given a green/yellow tint, with the hue moved slightly to a more yellow colour. This would not make the final effect seem ridiculous and the colours would still be realistic, but just more vivid and dream-like.
