BBC Live Brief - Best Street Food or Takeaway

Next I worked on Best Street Food or Takeaway category. For this footage I improved upon the timing in some of the shots by extending the pauses by using still images. It also needed a lot of colour correction and enhancement as the original footage was very orange and dull from the light source we were using at the time.

This is a still of the original video:

























And here it is after colour correction and other various effects such as a vignette:

























I attempted to make the colour of the food vibrant and sharp to make it really stand out and look appealing. This took a very long time to get everything to look right but I think I achieved what I was aiming for. I think if there was anything I could improve on it would be experimenting with colour a little more and see what other variations I could come up with before settling on one colour scheme. I could also play a little more with the timing of each scene/shot within After Effects and make the actions more impactful and exaggerated.

For the final scene in Street Food I also replaced the green screen using the same techniques as I did previously and used a kitchen tiled wall texture in its place. I also brightened up the entire shot and increased its vibrancy:
