In the video I have edited the footage to have a 'Gaussian Blur' over it, this is to portray to the audience that the footage we are showing is a flashback. I decided to have a warm tone to the footage because that is stereotypically the tone for old footage. I learnt how to use the gaussian blur effect off of Youtube and then applied it to my own footage.
In the photo above you can see the effects I applied to the footage, with gaussian blur you take the footage you want to change and then duplicate it, you then put the duplicated copy over the original in track 2. Then you get the gaussian blur effect and drag it to the copy, after you go into effects controls and change the amount of blur. For my footage I chose 30 and had it on a blur dimension of horizontal. I changed the opacity of this to 80% and changed the blend mode to soft light so that the audience could see the footage easily.
After this I then created a title and changed the colour of it, I wanted my video to have a warm effect to it so I put the title on track 3 and changed the opacity to 60% and the blend mode to soft light. This meant that it gave a warm tone which suggested a flashback without being too overpowering for the audience.
This screenshot demonstrates the changes the gaussian blur effect makes along with the coloured title overlayed over it, the new footage looks a lot more dreamlike and less realistic.
