Im working on a sustainability project for my architecture course, and I need to make a video essay about it. Now my plan is to make it all seem like it was filmed in the 70's / 80's for some parts. Is there a program that can filter the video taken to convert it into a retro look?

I currently have Photoshop CS4 but im not the most fluent in it.

Karma to helpers
maybe there are some plugins for Premiere / After Effects for video

Making it in 30 fps (as opposed to 24) will also make it look pretty old and crappy.

I'm pretty sure we had color in the 70's and 80's. He said old, but not that old.

Ok so would photoshop be able to change the FPS of a digital video?

you can edit frames and do some cool stuff with pshop cs4, but tazz is right that premiere is the way to go...
and after effects also.  Videocopilot is a great website with a bunch of great tutorials.

When using Premier, when you export the video, somewhere in the export settings (maybe advanced settings), you can choose the framerate you want it in. It's advisable that if you're planning on exporting in 30fps, you record in 30fps. What kind of camera are you using? Most cheap handhelds that you take on vacation with your family will film in shitty 30fps.

Yea, I'm not sure what mtb is on about with changing the frame rate to achieve a retro look, but he was getting at Hollywood films being 24fps.

Motion blur is the main reason why movies can be shown at 24 fps, therefore saving Hollywood money by not having to make the film any longer than possible (30 fps for a full feature film would be approximately 20% longer than a film shown at 24 fps, that turns out to be a lot of money).

Did you even read the quote in my post? It saves time and money, it has nothing to do with what people are capable of seeing.

Have you guys never seen home movies made on a crappy camcorder that record in 30fps compared to anything remotely decent that used 24fps?

I dont see how a higher fps would decrease quality.  I think that has more to do with the resolution, bitrate and colour recording in it...

Well yeah, like I implied earlier, it won't make it look retro in a grainy, blurry, whatever kind of sense. But it will definitely lower the production value.

On its own, not something that will make it look retro. But added on top of the other mentioned effects, it will be the icing on the cake.
