Research: Adding A Filter To Our Clips

When we were reviewing the raw clips that we recorded for our music video we noticed  that some of them were just a little to bright and colourful to fit with the 'retro' 1970's re-make look we were going for. This was especially apparent in the band performance shots which featured many different  colours of bright flashing lights. To combat this problem and add a bit of an older film look to our music video we did some research online into how to create our own custom vintage filter.
I came across this website here that gave us some ideas on where to start and here is the end result:

 As you can see the filter has increased the reds in the shadows and given the whole footage a warm orange tone, similar to that seen in old video footage, and has improved the look of our music video drastically. This filter also dimmed the colours in the band performance shots so they were not as vibrant and fit the overall theme much better than before.
