Dark/Serious ?

[Dafreshprince]

Well the song has a real dark serious tone to it, Do you guys have any suggestion to make the amv have a dark serious tone too , I mean the mood

something like this.

I don´t know the posted vid, but I suggest to think in colours and colourstyle. You know for sure the theory of cold and warm colours. Stick your nose in stuff like colour corrections and plan your own video/colours style.

I don´t have any links for you, but a simpel google search won´t be a bad idea. Just one more thing: Don´t forget that desiging websites or wallpapers can also give you good knowledge of value

Grunge overlays?

Heavier shadows maybe?

[Bauzi]

I think you get a dark serious in a much more easier way without grunge overlays. It´s not that easy to use grunge without makeing the video look ridicolous or cheesy.

Oh yeah you can also decrease the contrast and make it look more matt.

Brightness and Contrast or colour correction like Bauzi says.

you can try my vid maybe it give you some idea...

Grunge overlays?

Heavier shadows maybe?

I pretty much agree with Bauzi.

Basically all you need to do is play with the color adjustment + lighting of your shots. It also helps if you had the correct scenes to give it that "darkness feeling/theme".

I would say, just use grey coloring with old firm look, make it shake and add little bit of vinette. If you want darker look then increase the vinette
