Mediaworks 2021 - Color Grading

COLOR CORRECTION: Corrects the color and contrast of a shot so that it looks true to life and measures correctly Can adjust exposure Can make footage less flat Can correct a color balance issue Can increase saturation Can establish ACCURACY—you want to make sure things in the frame and shown as they really are Accuracy is especially important for flesh tone Can bring proper focus to elements within a frame Makes sure that each shot goes with other shots from the same scene

COLOR GRADING: Adds a visual palette that stylizes the image beyond correction, often providing a specific tone or emotion Helps inform the audience’s perception of a scene Emphasizes different climates, locations, moods, characters, and plot
