Colour Treatments

here is our first attempt at colour treatment. we have increased the contrast of the image and decreased the saturation. I have seen this being done many times in media products for scenes that are more negative or dangerous. I wanted to to the same for my media piece as I wanted to create the feelings of loneliness, isolation and even potential danger as the main character is in a new environment and doesn't know what to expect.  I watched a clip from a different media blog that looked at colour treatment. This helped me as I was scared that by changing the colouring of the picture I would be making the piece look too artificial. However after watching this video it reassured me because I realised that people won't know how the original image looked, they will only know what you show them, and if the continuity is good then audience shouldn't realise if the colour scheme is unnatural because you have convinced them that that's how it is within the world of your production.
