Testing Out Coloured Filters

• For our media video we have considered adding a coloured filter on top of the footage as this can help create atmosphere.

• Vance Joy use a yellow filter in their ‘Rip Tide’ music video and this helps to fit in with the 1960s/70s time period.

The Original PhotoI decided to take a relevant photo to test the filters on.As the song is called ‘The Sound’ we are going to have lots of clips which relate to music e.g.; an iPod, head phones and playing record, etc.

YellowUsing a yellow colour filter makes the picture look older and gives it a vintage feel like in the Vance Joy music video.

OrangeAdding an orange filter makes the footage much warmer and when filming people it can help smooth out their skin tones.

RedRed again makes the footage look a lot warmer and could be used as a way of suggesting love between the people in the footage.

PinkA pink colour filter can be used to show happiness as it can help illuminate the photographs as well as symbolizing compassion.

PurplePurple can make the footage look a bit darker and more mysterious atmosphere. This could be a filter we could use nearer the end of the music video as the video will get progressively darker.

Dark BlueThe darker blue gives the footage a cooler atmosphere. Dark blue symbolizes loyalty and confidence and this could be used as the footage begins to get darker.

Light BlueA light blue filter makes the picture look really cool toned and creates a cool. The symbolism of blue suggests peace and serenity. This might be a good filter to used at the beginning of the music video where the footage is going to be bright, happy and colourful.

GreenThe green colour make the footage look bright and fresh. Green can be used to represent ambition and greed or jealousy.

SaturationTurning up the saturation on the photo makes the colours in the picture much more vibrant and bright. I think this is something we could play around with in our music video as the colours in the water will be much brighter and more colourful and this can make it more interesting to look at.
