COLOUR GRADING

Posted on by anishkumardharma

I spent the entire of yesterday and today to colour correct/grade the music video. Unlike last year, I did not use LUTs(Look up tables) for colour grading. I mostly did only colour correction and played with the temperature of the clip to have my final look ready. I tried to keep a consistent blue/cool temperature theme going on in the entire music video, except some parts where I felt it looked better with a different colour scheme or the scenes were shot with the help of the coloured light bulbs, which were red and green in colour. I am attaching below some examples of the blue themed look and the others:

  • BEFORE
  • AFTER
This is the result of the cooler temperature look after colour grading.
  • BEFORE
  • AFTER
In this particular scene, even tho I shot this scene with the red and green lights, I felt I could play around with the colours and check if the changed colours looked better. In this scene, they did. I applied the Hue, Saturation, Luminosity(HLS) Colour effect on the clip and switched them until I got this look.
  • BEFORE
  • AFTER
In this scene, I did not make the colour temperature cooler. Instead, I changed the hue and saturation to a red-tone since this scene is about suicide and red colour represents blood, death etc. I think this colour theme fit perfectly with the scene itself.
