With Tom starting on the effects shots I started on the
colour grading of the film. Speaking to Lucy the director on what colour she
wanted the film. As Lucy wanted two different colours one warm and the other
cold the warm colour being the reflection and the cold being real life. Lucy
then started on the sound and left me to work on the colour.
Setting the mode to colour correction mode , started to
experiment and grade the film. This was
a fun process for me as it's an area I find really interesting and how colour
can add to a film. using the colour wheel and curves to get the two different
colours for the manipulator and the manipulated. trying to balance out the
colours making sure the colours used weren't illegal. whilst grading the film
there's different waveforms such as an vector scope etc displayed on the
monitor.
On the different waveforms there's negative on the bottom and positive
on the top and the colour has to remain balanced in between this, anything
above or below the negative and positive lines the colour is illegal therefore
not a broadcasting colour. However there were in a few shots where the colour
was illegal so I applied an effect called safe colour limiter what this does is
it compress the colour and keeps everything within the boundary so any colour
that is off this effect keeps it legal.
The symbol above being the colour safe limiter which helps to keep the colour legal. Using this because when skimming through the clips it was to hard to find where the colour was being off so I applied colour limiter above the whole timeline to make sure the colour was safe.
This is the final grade of the film the top the warm colour being the reflection, the bottom the the cold blue being the real life. It took a while to produce these colours. Im pleased with the colour I have produced So was Lucy and Tom which we think best represent the different sides.
