DH Editing Music Video (3)

We have very nearly completed the music video, however it has evolved slightly yet again. The main change Tom and I have decided to make to our piece is that we have footage at the end that breaks the fourth wall, and we show some of the production of the video, with the band messing around with one another. We did this in order to make the theatre footage more interesting, since everybody moves around in these shots, and also to show the friendship of the band, as opposed to just the argument and performance. One other thing it was suggested we change was the cutting rate, which has greatly increased especially towards the end.
I personally have been mainly grading the footage, for most shots we have increased the contrast to make it bolder. However to differentiate the performance from the narrative I have been experimenting with the contrast/brightness, colour (hue, lightness, saturation), and tint effects. We have not yet come to an final effect we are happy with though, since bleaching the colour can also reflect a lack of energy in the piece which does not work so well with the tone of the song, meanwhile it still needs to be contrasting with the performance and new footage at the end.
