Film/TV2: Analysis/Reflection 5: Q1

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.

 

Before/After

I adjusted the color temperature to a slightly warmer level, to give it a more balanced look throughout the documentary. As this was shot with a D-SLR, the color temperature preset was set to 3500k, as to even out the sunlight. With the limited amount of time with the interviewee, and the constant change of exterior color temperatures, I could not afford to stop the shoot and change my color settings every time the sun goes out.

 

 

Before/After

As the colors of our interviewee’s skin looks a bit pale, I gave it a slightly sharper contrast to give him a more natural and lively look. This also brings out the subject even more from the busy background.
