In this class exercise, we experimented with pulling focus within a shot. We started off focusing up on the coffee sign. Because of how bright the light is, it was hard to focus on the sign properly. We did try changing the exposure to let…
For the first clip I colour graded, I only altered the original footage subtly to explore how little I could change each version so that it would be noticeable when compared side by side, but still appear to look natural. Because of the way the…
