Color correction is a key part of the creative filmmaking process. Color is used to tell a story, and create a mood and tone. It gives the cinematographer and director creative options that they do not have optically in the camera, and is no longer limited to high-end post-production. Today, all major film and television work – including commercials, music videos, documentaries, etc. – require some level of color correction. That is why every major video editing software program includes color-correction. This course will introduce you to the important post-production step of color correction as it pertains to the creative process. The class will begin by exploring the history of color timing, from the lab through video post to the complete digital finishing of a film project. It will discuss the need and the tools used for color correction. The class will discuss the differences between film and video as they relate to color spaces, sensitivity and texture, comparing all video formats, and film stocks. There will be hands-on exercises including several classes taught at Shooters.
Prerequisite:
FMA 2551 (0257)
