LECTURES

Tasks include: plot segmentation, shot size labeling, and matching each story node to the appropriate shot (e.g., panorama, medium close-up, close-up, etc.).

Color Grading

Color Grading is the artistic blending of colors based on color correction to express style and mood.

Common color grading purposes:

Enhance contrast and saturation.

Add cool/warm tones such as blues, greens, browns.

Desaturate appropriately (50%-70%) or shift to black and white high contrast.

Techniques include:

Adding an Adjustment Layer to Video Track 2.

Use S-curves to increase contrast.

Apply complementary colors such as Teal & Orange style to highlight skin tones.

Color Wheel Settings: Teal & Blue for shadows, Orange for midtones and highlights.

REFLECTION

Project 2 we started the production by shooting the footage by hand, after we confirmed our respective positions, each of us worked hard to complete our part, I as the mike sound reinforcement, in this unique experience I learned how a movie is made!

Then the teacher taught us how to mix the colors, Teal & Orange are classic movie tones, Bluish (cold), cooler blue picture atmosphere, Greenish (cold) cooler green tones for somber or calm atmosphere ...... Use these to edit a trailer, it's a fun experience to make a finished product out of footage you've shot yourself!
