This is a screenshot from where I have began to edit a clip from Intrusion, specifically a clip when the two thieves are investigating the door they are about to break through. I am using Adobe After Effects CS6 to edit with, which is currently my most favourable choice of editing software.
At that point I was adjusting and adding some effects to my footage, being colour correction. Since my idea behind intrusion was for a dark, psychological thriller film, I had to match the films mise-en-scene and colour pallet to meet this convention. I also thought about this because in my initial audience research survey, people often thought how lighting and tone can be very influential in thriller films, which is why I underwent the decision to use darker color pallets. Therefore I used various colour correction effects to achieve a darker, bleaker mood and tone.This is reflected in the screenshot above as the picture is considerably dark. The effects control tab is on the left of the screen as you can see, and this is where I can control the effects and see how it changes the image just to the right in the centre of the screen. My timeline is at the bottom where all my clips, audio, adjustment layers and pretty much everything I need to know is, and also tells me how everything is structured, which is the primary purpose of editing.
I feel considerably comfortable editing with Adobe software, in this case After Effects, as I gained quite a lot of insight and understanding into editing and sequencing during our AS thriller opening production, which gave me the necessary skills and understanding with working with video editing software like such.
