Color Grading
WHAT ARE WE LEARNING: Color Correction & Grading!
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT: Color grading is important in videography because it establishes mood and style, ensures visual consistency across scenes, and enhances the overall aesthetic of a video. It involves both fixing technical issues to make the footage look natural (color correction) and using creative adjustments to shape the look and evoke specific emotions in the viewer.
HOW WILL MY TEACHER KNOW WHAT I LEARNED: Today we will learn about color grading and correction!
Color Correction vs Color Grading
Color Correction is the part of the process that's essential to fixing any issues pertaining to the highlights, the shadows, the exposure, essentially correcting the clip's exposure before we get into the grading process.
Color Grading is where you really get to put your own specific style and your creative flair on your clips.
Why is it important?
MOOD & EMOTION
Color can strongly influence how an audience feels. For example, warmer tones can make a video feel happy, while cooler tones can create a more dramatic or grim atmosphere.
Color grading allows you to use saturation and hue to make a scene visually stimulating or to focus the viewer's attention through simplicity.
CONSISTENCY & COHESION
It ensures that shots filmed in different conditions maintain a consistent look, creating a polished and professional final product.
Color grading is used to match colors between different clips, even if they were shot at different times or in different locations, preventing jarring transitions.
AESTHETIC & STYLE
It's a key tool for creating a specific artistic style for a project, from a "classic film look" to a more modern aesthetic.
Grading allows you to define the overall look of your video before production begins, ensuring that the final image aligns with the director's or cinematographer's vision for the project.
ENHANCING DETAIL
It can bring out more detail in shadows and highlights that may have been lost during shooting, improving the overall dynamic range of the image.
It can be used to ensure that colors are technically accurate, like making sure skin tones are correct or that a white shirt actually looks white
Lumetri Color Workspace overview
The Lumetri Color workspace is designed for experienced colorists and editors who are new to color grading. You can apply simple color corrections or complex Lumetri Looks using intuitive sliders and controls. Or you can easily adjust cuts or fine-tune grades using advanced color correction tools like curves and color wheels.

Color Correction Workflow
Place the playhead on the required clip in your sequence.
Start making color adjustments using the Basic Correction section.
Get started quickly by using Auto Color—an Adobe Sensei ML technology that applies intelligent color correction to clips. You can then further refine the color using the Intensity, Color, and Light sliders.
The controls in the Basic Correction section guide you through applying a LUT (Lookup Table), and making other technical corrections to exposure and light through easy-to-use controls.
Use the Creative section to apply Looks. You can then make further adjustments using the adjustments sliders.
Use the Curves section to further refine the look using RGB Curves and the Hue Saturation Curve.
Adjust shadows, midtones, and highlights using color wheels for more precise color adjustments using Color Wheels & Match.
To make individual shots recorded under different lighting conditions look like they belong in the same scene, and not out of place when cutting from one shot to the next, use the Color Match section.
After making all the color adjustments, create a high-quality vignette to make your video stand out.

IN THIS CLASS YOU WILL CONTINUALLY BE PUTTING TOGETHER NEWS SEGMENTS
TO AIR ON TMH!
Make sure your team has:
Verified the Date, time and Place!
Did the person you are interviewing give you a time and place?
If the day/time is during school hours but not during 6th period. Ask your teacher (from THAT) period if you can miss that day!
ANY work missed in any class due to interviewing must be made up on the student's own time! (And yes you are required to make it up as if you were absent)
Know Your Subject
Capture THEIR voice
Be Prepared
Show Respect
Craft your Questions
Be conversational, NOT confrontational
Don't Just Hear, LISTEN
Don't take things out of context
Don’t forget to set your basic camera settings before the interview begins.
Shutter speed
Iris (Aperture)
Gain (ISO)
White Balance (WB)
Audio
To get good audio you need to carefully LOOK and LISTEN. Look at your viewfinder to make sure your levels aren’t peaking.
Listen with headphones to check for distortion.
You may want to consider the use of an auxiliary microphone rather than the mounted shotgun microphone on the camera.
Some of your options are a hand-held microphone for getting “man on the street” audio, or a lavalier (lav Mic) for in-depth, high quality audio.
Before any camera will be checked out, your team MUST submit a storyboard and be approved!
