Production diary

1. Colour corrector

This is an example of me using a colour-grading tool on premier editing software In order to make a certain scene in the trailer to stand out more. I first started by searching for colour graders and then when one came up for example the diagram above which I first started by moving the colours over to a warmer colour in order to highlight the grass giving it a more appealing look.

Overall I believe that this was one of the easier editing techniques, as it didn’t take to much time to make sure that the colouring was appropriate to the theme of the production.

2. Three way colour corrector-editing technique

After the first colour correction of a base for all of them I began to proceed to use other more advanced colour correction that could further add to the effects of the scenes. The further colour correctors were called three way colour correction, the majority of the time the most important colour corrector to be used was the midtones in the middle, this was the most important out of them all because it created the most balance between what’s in the background and Connors character making sure that they don’t clash.

Overall I believe that this was the most challenging editing technique used out of all of them as it took a large amount of time to make sure that each of the colour correctors weren’t overpowering the other.

3. Razor editing tool

This shows an example of myself using an editing technique called the razor which allowed me to snip at footage that had been filmed for our production and then dispose of which ever piece of footage that we didn’t want to use in the final production.

Overall I believe that this technique was the most useful technique of editing out of all that I used because it meant that I was able to section what parts of full footage were needed and that weren’t needed in order to shorten the trailer and also add relevant parts.
