Colour Adjustment - Sandhya Gulsin

When reflecting on the outcome of the rough cut, something that caught my attention was the clarity of footage. I wanted to create a "cinema" type affect as I believed it would add poise and power to our video. In order to attempt to edit the video producing the crisp clear footage, I had a lot to learn. The tutorial above shows the first part of the process in which I had to learn to use Premier Pro. By looking at these tutorials I was more able to use the program In which I had never used before.



The second part of the process was adjusting the colour of the different connecting clips so there was a colour balance between them. The three way colour corrector on Premier Pro allowed me to do this.

The third part of editing the colour was lowering the saturation to support the "rock" genre. The image captures below evidence the difference.

After adjusting the colour I then was able to add the "Cinematic" affect. For the black and white footage I used "Cinematic 1" and layered it twice. From our previous feedback the use of sepia footage was proposed, so by doubling the affect, this adjusted the footage colour ever so slightly in between black and white and sepia. As the screen capture below shows, the footage clarity after colour editing is immaculate.

For the rest of the footage I used "Cinematic 2" and when reflecting felt certain parts of the video still needed further editing as it seemed to overly edited resorting to parts looking  too dark.
