For this task I filmed a simplistic scene and then added two different soundtracks and video effects to create two different genres. It showed how you can manipulate the exact same footage to appear to be a different genre by adding a soundtrack and a different colour. For the first genre, I decided to do make it a scary thriller. For this I firstly made the contrast high to make the scene pop more and I lowered the exposure to make it darker. I also decreased the saturation and this overall made the clip look more bleak and frightening. However, I then decided to make the scene black and white as it was the most effective at making the scene the genre thriller. For soundtrack I added a suspenseful and intense piece of music.
The second genre I wanted to portray was comedy. I added a lighthearted and bouncy soundtrack making the atmosphere humorous and fun. I also used the white point dial to make the scene more yellow and therefore warmer. This overall changed the scene from thriller to comedy just by soundtrack and colour. This conveys how important these aspects are at transforming a piece of work which I will definitely keep in mind when editing my footage for my short film.
