Using 8mm film reel clip.

Throughout making my title sequence and assets i knew the style wasn't right, it looked to bright and shiny and didn't suit the vintage circus look i wanted to create.
I played around with the assets changing the saturation and hue and applying a sepia photo filter onto each asset but this still didn't look 'old'. The colours in the images started to clash between the varying saturations.
I started experimenting with the film grain and scratchy film effects within AE which led me onto tutorials on the internet where i found this...

...a relatively simple way to create an old film look by applying an 8mm film clip found on youtube as a new layer on AE

...then applying an adjustment layer on top which would effect every layer, within the adjustment layer i changed the CC colour tone to a sepia tint which added to the old look
