Main Task- Colour Treatment

Colour Treatment

The colour treatment for the final video was spilt into three sections of different colours: Orange for the bedroom scenes, pink for the living room and kitchen scenes and Blue for creating an atmosphere outside. The colour scheme will help viewers recognise that each colour represents a different meaning. The orange represents that its still early in the day as the girls get ready and also orange is bright colour that represents happiness. The Pink represents youth as bing care free and rebellious but with also a hint of childish behaviour. Finally the Blue represents the darkness and rebellion of youth (e.g.smoking and drinking)

The Bedroom Scenes

For the bedroom scenes Mary (our Editor) used the fast colour corrector (Top picture) to make the room lighting look as if it was quite early in the afternoon. In fact the scenes where actually shot in the evening. The luma curve (bottom picture) was used to enable the shots to look brighter. Mary made all the adjustments on one clip and then copied them onto the other bedroom clips. This was to ensure that each clip had the same consistency though out.

The Living Room/ Kitchen Scenes

These screen shots show the fast colour corrector on the shades of pink. As you can see from the first top picture that with only the colour corrector the image is still dark. This was highly likely to be due to the living rooms natural lighting. To correct this, Mary used the luma curve again to very slightly brighten the film. If you compare this luma curve to the luma curve used for the bedroom scenes; it's easily noticed that the living room scenes are no as bright. This is capture the idea that its later in the day and also that the lighting at a party will be dimmer.

 

Outside Scenes

For the outdoor scenes Mary used the colour corrector to create a blue filter over the top of the clips. This was created to make theses scenes look more darker  as when we filmed it was still light. However for the some of the other outside scenes that included using the sparklers the lighting was very dark so Mary used the luma curve once again to make the scenes a lot brighter. These scenes had to made brighter due to the natural lighting being rather poor. We also did not have an artificial lighting we could use as we were in the middle of a playground. However the luma curve really helped to brighten up the film and a create a party like atmosphere.
