First: Original ungraded
Second: I made the clip cyan with mid-tones and highlights, and saturated it quite a bit. I wanted to experiment with saturation, because I have never really used a high saturation before, because I personally do not like the look it gives, and after this experiment I am sure I don’t like it. The colours are too rich and unrealistic, although this could work if I wanted to do something dreamlike and non realistic.
Third: Cyan mid-tones and highlights, except with a low saturation. I prefer this over the high saturated image, as it gives the scene a visually chilling sense because it has such a cold saturation. Although I would prefer it too been less cyan.
Fourth: Red mid-tones and highlights, untouched saturation. This is quite an interesting colour grade for me, because in some of my tests I worked with red gels to achieve a very similar look to this. It almost proves to me that gels are almost unnecessary if you want a shot to be completely red.
Fifth: Completely desaturated. I like this because it gives a sort of film-noir vibe as its used with the shadows on the actors faces.
Today I also learnt how to do split screen editing on Premiere. Like most of the things on Premiere, it isn’t difficult to do, but finding where to do it is the hard part.
