As part of the Industrial Media course, I had a lot of fun while doing this assignment since this gave me an opportunity to work on Premiere colour effects.I used some clips from the shoot of a cooking show for the digital story project.
Having learnt this I tried to apply it to create many effects. I experimented with different kinds of looks which did not necessarily get into the final project but helped me learn tremendously.
Am sharing a four prelim examples of my experimentation with colour in Adobe premiere. These are not finished pieces of work but just highlight some effects ,whacky though which I created!
Post the tutorial on three way colour corrector I jumped right in to see how I could use this to make my colour clip into black and white. Though this colour corrector had the ability to independently work on colours. You can individually choose which colour to affect and only that get’s changed in a particular clip.
1.But like It’s human psyche to want something which is not! I wanted black and white when I had colour so here is what I got:
I got this by selecting the three way colour corrector.I typed three way color corrector, then select the clip in the timeline and apply the here way color corrector to it.In the effect control panel,click the triangle to expand the three way color corrector,then adjust the saturation, shadow, midtone and highlight to 00. The default value is 100,which does not affect colours.A setting of 00 removes all color, hence creating a grayscale image.
See I got a gray scale image in my clip: black and white color clip!
2.Now I just wanted to find out how an actor wearing an orange in the actual shoot actually adorns a yellow in the final film! So I wanted to work on changing the hue. So I worked on the color balance and applied Hue & saturation.
Here’s what I did:First I adjusted the hue and here is what I got:
Post this I applied saturation. Saturation helps to make the colour more intense and vibrant.
3.Now I wanted to check out the option of shadow reduction which is often helpful when there are light issues. So I chose the below clip and applied shadow reduction to it. It helped to lighten the shadow in the clip.
4.We have often heard terms such as warm or cold look of clips. I wondered I could work on it. So I took the earlier shadow reduced clip and applied the color balance to the clip by adjusting the mid tone blue. This gave a cold look as below:
There’s limitless opportunity to create colour effects with Premiere. All this as shared in my blog post is a just the tip of the iceberg! I will be working across all options and applying them in doing some interesting post production work in future.
