Could a confused filmmaker go from not understanding color theory to applying it to create visually interesting films even without going to film school?
Well that's where I was at... and before I reveal how to do this instantly I want to first share my frustration.
I desperately wanted to understand this topic and more importantly be able to apply it in my color grading. Yet it seemed like I would need to go to a fancy film school or luck out and work in a large post production facility with a senior colorist that would reveal their magic bag of tricks.
I felt inadequate in such a visual profession where it seemed like these concepts should be second nature.
But after spending a couple years working on set observing art direction and learning the correction tools I finally came to discover the secret to implementing these concepts in the grade.
The two ways to apply color theory in the color grade is to either:
- Push colors into the tonal range using the color wheels/curves
- Apply a secondary or isolated color correction
Or any combination of the two.
If this is something that seems too confusing or overwhelming to implement you can see how easy it is to explore different color palettes in Cinema Grade like we demonstrate on the 2018 film Terminal.
Presently at the moment Cinema Grade works in Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve or Final Cut Pro X on the Mac as a plugin video effect.
