In this current week, we’re delving deeper into the realm of AI generative applications, an area that continues to baffle and amaze me. The sheer diversity of websites offering this service is astounding, and it’s astonishing to realize that this concept has rapidly evolved within just a year. What’s striking is the distinct style and appearance of the generated images across these various tools. Each application possesses its unique flair, contributing to the visual diversity of the outputs. It’s intriguing to note that while some of these applications offer a free trial period, many are restricted behind a paywall. This limitation is understandable given the novelty of the technology, but I can’t help but hope for a future where such cutting-edge tools become universally accessible, leading to a standardise use of this remarkable technology.

Beyond the AI exploration, we’ve also delved into the captivating world of color grading in filmmaking. Among the multifaceted processes in video creation, color grading stands out as a truly enthralling endeavor. The manipulation of colors within an image can bestow a distinct aesthetic appeal, transforming videos into cinematic and film-like pieces of art. I’m particularly captivated by the journey of mastering color grading in Davinci, recognizing it as a skill I’m eager to acquire. As I progress, I’m aiming to apply color grading techniques to my Assignment 2 work, aiming to infuse it with a specific atmosphere. However, I’ve encountered the challenge of striking the delicate balance between enhancing visuals through color grading and avoiding overdoing it, which could potentially degrade the footage quality.
