For our project we made an interactive video experience based on Jannine’s relationship. Her idea was to make a series of flashbacks based on a playlist.
For this project, I was in charge of the video editing. I made some stylistic choices while I was playing with the effects. First, I added some filters over each scene. When we go down memory lane, our memories are often blurred and have specific emotions attached to them. To try and emphasize this, I played with the colors differently for each flashback. I tried to coordinate the colors of each scene with the mood that the scene was trying to convey. I also added shadows and highlights to the memory scenes to give it a more faded, dream-like feel to it. This basically gave outlines to the most important objects and characters and objects in each scene, drawing them more into focus. Second, I tried to sync the music with the transitions between clips to make the music stick out more because, after all, this project is based on music and memories. I contrasted these effects by not adding anything to the clips that are supposed to be in the present, making it clear which clips are memories and which ones are not.
