Editing: vignette

Although not very clear this is an image vignette, colour collector, blur amount, mix, saturation, size and darken that we used to edit our title sequence. We used the vignette to create darker shadows to add a harsh atmosphere to our sequence, the colour correction we used was to highlight the red ribbon  in the young girls hair but also to give a 'dirty' type look to the killer when handling the jewellery and such. The saturation was used at the same of the colour correction to brighten the red within the ribbon.
We used a slight blur effect when the killer was crossing out the girls names in the notebook and by doing this it creates a type of enigma code for the audience of who he has killed.
The darken was also used at the same time as the vignette to create the dirtiness of the room with the killer and to create harsh shadows as well.

We got the initial idea of vignette from the film 'Se7en' as they use a large amount of vignette within the title sequence as the dark atmosphere makes everything appear very grim and evil. So we decided to use this when the killer is doing things with the box and the notepad, the vignette distorts the shot making it creepy and mysterious.
