This clip demonstrates how I used opacity effect in premier pro to create the effect of liv fading in and out. Using keyframes I marked down where I wanted her to fade in, stay in and then fade out, I repeated this for other clips as-well.

This clip is recorded after colour grading, I had noticed that theres a line in the footage, this is happened because i moved the clip of liv to the side due to her blocking clive, and it looked aesthetically better this way. to fix this I created a mask laying out where i wanted livs clip to be, and the feathered it out to blend out the harsh line from where the footage ends.

for Livs clips I wanted a really exaggerated orange tone with purple/pink undertones to add to the ethereal style I wanted, because i wanted to change the whole colour of the shoot, I didn't feel the need to do any basic correction and moved straight to the creative colour section in lumiere colours. I started adding an adjustment layer over my clips this allowed me to compare what I was doing to my original clip. I kept this colour pallet for liv throughout, but adjusted the settings for each clip individually this is because the lighting may have changed in the clips so the adjustment layer wouldn't match for all.

I then used the faded film slider to add a more retro feel to the clips

I wanted the clips of Clive running to have a slightly different style to liv's clips until the last scene where he arrives to see her. I used a adjustment layer again and chose the same colour hues as the previous clip, I huge issue I had in this scene with Clive was a almost shiny purple highlight above his head.

This was a simple fix all i needed to was adjust the exposure, however doing this added more grain to my footage, there was alot to begin with due to filming in low light and with the colour grading, I had planned to remove this with after effect however i didnt have access to it on the laptop i borrowed.

It is important to note that these colour grading clips and methods were not used in my final project, this was due to how much noise was on the clip, which really affected the aesthetics, this would of been fixed in after effect however I dont have access to it for this project.

In this clip I am doing basic corrections to the shadows and white balance.

This is the export of that edit using that colour grading style, I did try to fix the noise in one of the clips using the mask method but it ended up just blurring the background even on its lowest setting. you can see in this edit how noise it is, and the end result of the colour-grading I felt didn't really contrast well against livs clips.

Here i was trying to fix the moments he went out of shot or there was alot of negative space, i tried to keep him in the middle of the from for the most part.

A huge error in my footage is freddies hair pocking out the mask, which really ruins the immersion of my character, unfortunly no matter where i cropped his hair could still be scene, and its a mistake i can learn from, next time when filming using masks as probs i will rather use a wig cap to slick hair down or use a actor with shorter hair.
