COP 3 - PRACTICAL DEVELOPMENT - EDITING/IMPROVEMENT (BACKGROUND)

A way that I thought might improve the look of the footage would be to remove some of the frames in the video and apply a texture on top to make the video look like more of a stopmotion/pixelation animation than a video montage. The way I achieved this was to import the video frames in to photoshop layers and limit the amount to every two frames being imported.

I then opened an animation timeline, made the frames from the layers in the project and made sure the layers were in their own group.

I then placed the newsprint texture above the group layer and applied a soft overlay blending mode - to get the lighting right and the contrast correct I made further adjustments in the levels and hue and contrast windows.

Once i had exported the video out of photoshop I noticed that it moved a little too quickly so reduced the speed in premiere.
