Color Grading

Today we were editing the final version of our project. We started by adding interview footage that we shot earlier, and photos of Arnold. Everything was going well and we were ready to export the file and show it to Rohan for one final feedback. When Rohan watched it, he pointed out some detailed issues we had in our project, there was a buzzing sound at the start of our video, we assumed it was from the speakers but when i watched the footage from another computer I could still hear it. After reviewing the footage over and over we found the issue and fixed it.

Now it was time for final step of edit, color grading. we shot our footage on 3 different cameras, Canon, Sony and mobile phone. The footage from each camera was different and our challenge was to fix the colors so they look the same. We tried different layers and effects but it was a struggle to get the right color. We spent hours doing the color grading, Sam would put a mask/effect and me and Camilla would give feedback. I have focused so much on the computer screen  my eyes were glitching, I thought I was color blinded, but we continued on the edit.

Today I gained some knowledge on color grading and detailed sound edit and that’s what I love about this course, I learn something new in every session. Towards the end of the day we were satisfied with the color grading and called it a day.
