Mediaworks 2021 - Color Grading
From Help Wiki
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 skin 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
