The color is really significant for a film. Undoubtedly, in the filming process, we have to consider about the exposure, white balance and lighting, through those right way we may got a good picture. But it is not means that we do not need do some color correction in post production. The good color correction must make our shot be more perfect and beautiful. So I am really want to know how to do a color correction in a right way. I researched some useful videos from YouTube, and from this video, we can learn how to use fact color corrector in a right way.
One good tip I learned is if we’ve got a problem with one color in our film, we have to go to one hundred and eighty degrees in opposite direction to get read of that color. In addition, in the correcting process, we have to remember two rules.
- Look away often from our screen. Because, our eyes will easily get used at one color.
- When we doing the color correcting, it is better to choose a room do not have sunlight. Because the sunlight always changing in different time. We may choose a room have a constant light source, no changing and shifting.
Moreover, we have to use reference monitor in our correcting process, such as the vector scope and YICwaveform.
I will keep learning the different skills of color correction, and used in my film production too.
