This is an unaltered screen grab of one of The West’s scenes in Werribee:

As per Paul and Robin’s instructions, our film group begun to play around with the colour grading techniques on Adobe Premiere. From the Video Effects tab of the Effects window, we used Three Way Colour Corrector to achieve the following effects:

More Premiere Shortcuts

Learning keyboard shortcuts on Adobe Premiere is an integral part to making post-production process easier. Here are some shortcuts that I have never come across before, mostly from Tutor Paul’s words of wisdom:

~ key toggles the full screen of the window that is selected.

Ctrl + ~ keys toggle the full screen of the video playback

HOME key brings progress line to start, END key to last clip (never came across these as I don’t have these keys on my personal computer)

I haven’t had to deal with large amounts of footage before that is consistent with documentary filmmaking;

the M key marks key points of an imported clip, making it easier for the editor to sort through the footage. These marked areas can then be labelled separately to the actual clip title.
