Colour Correction. (Film/TV 2 Analysis & Reflection 5)

As per lecture –  in a sequence you’ve called ‘colour’ you will have clips that are indicative of a particular colour or lighting state. To the right of that clip you will have that same clip repeated 2 or more times with different colour grades on it.

Take screen grabs of each clip then upload to your blog the series of stills that show us ‘before and afters’ of your colour grading. Provide a few different examples of at least two different clips – each with a description of what you did to the clip and why.

This is a learning exercise, not necessarily a qualitative one, don’t stress – it is the act of doing it and the reflection on that, that is important

In this still, we could see too much blue hue in the lighting. This is because we were shooting this scene close to sunset and the rapid change of the amount of sunlight throughout the entire shoot caused the temperature to be not balanced.

To fix this, we simply increased the temperature and our subject looked more natural.

In this still, the contrast looks a little bit out of balance.

By fixing the contrast, not only do the shot look more appealing, the skin tone of our subject got much better as well. Making him stand out even more against the background.
