I used ‘three-way color corrector’ to do the colour grading in Premiere pro, this clip has just a few highlights so i did not adjust it but the midtones I have turned it into a little bit orange to make the surface of the meter going to be more dilapidated, and also I have turned the shadow to be more reddish to make the rust to be more obvious.

This clip is like the first one that I turned the shadow to be more reddish to make the rust standing out, and I turned the highlights to be blueish to make the sky bluer, and this would make a contrast on the violet sky and the dilapidated place, and create the desolated atmosphere.
2. It was surprisingly amazing that I have learnt a lot those are different from what I expected in the beginning of the semester. I expected that I would learn more interview skills on shooting documentary, more lighting and camerawork techniques, also learn how to make a well-planned production on filming documentary. But my group was not going so smooth in the beginning, we were doing on a topic of Australian born Chinese, and we found difficult to do the research. And there was not much useful information to make the reference. Besides, we could not find an ABC to be our subject either through online and asking friends around. And we decided to change the topic to graffiti, then we could not plan as much as the beginning of the semester and we were in a tight schedule. But we could achieve what we wanted to do in a short time, we use ‘running and gunning’ style to speed up our shooting progress and got lots more footages than we expected. We did not plan and follow every step but we improvised to shooting anywhere we thought that was great and it was really effective. The turn out is exactly not the same that I have expected before, but I’m satisfied for what we have got so far.
