The effects I have used is: Desaturate = 40
Vignette: Size = 0.45
Falloff = 0.75
Blur amount = 16
Darken = 0.7
Saturation = - 1
Mix = 100
There is a slight change in colour in the clips that were filmed, with newer footage have a slightly more red colour to it than the first footage I had shot. Because of this I need to use RGB balance on my newer clips to slightly reduce the red levels, this helps to match the older and newer clips and help keep continuity throughout my video.
Here is a before and after of a shot from my video, the top photo shows how my footage looks in the timeline without applying desaturation and vignettes to my clips. The bottom photo shows how my footage looks after I have desaturated the clips and applied a vignette.
The original clips are fairly strong in colour. As one of my band members were wearing bright shoes as well as a bright coloured guitar strap, I wanted to make sure that they don't stand out as much as they did, this is one of the main reasons why I desaturated the clips. However I also feel that desaturating the colours throughout helps to fit more with the mood of the song and genre.
