Whilst editing certain scenes of the trailer I realised that the colouring of the clips needed to be changed for them to fit more appropriately to the plot of the film. To do this I first had to watch this tutorial as I did not know how to achieve the colour grading idea at first. As the premise for our horror film is a sleepover it would follow convention to have the killer strike the protagonists at night. However, due to our limited time and full shooting schedule we had to film the night scenes in the day. The top images are the original clips whilst the bottom images are the same clips after the colour grading. Although they are not perfect and do not exactly replicate the clip in a night time setting I feel that the edition of the colour grading helps to establish and enhance the idea that the majority of the event taking place in the trailer occur at night. I also agree that the clips shown on the left look less effective than those on the right but this is due to the slight over exposure of the shots background as this excessive brightness has made the night time effect harder to achieve, unlike the clips on the right which originally had very low and subtle lighting.
