PROJECT 2A LALIN
Week 7 (02/06/25)
The Lalin video we editted previously, we need to do colour correction and
color grading. Firstly, I open the lumetri scope panel and adjust see the
lumetri (luna) of one clip. Then I use the first clip as a reference to the
rest. I tried to balance out all the clips to have the similar waveform
ranging from 1-100.

Fig 4.13 Lalin color correction
Moving on, still in the lumetri scope, I open the parade (RGB) mode and
use the white balance ink tool to parallel the color. Then I use the
first clip for reference to adjust the rest.

Lastly, after adjusting colour correction (the exposure, contrast, shadow and highlight and RGB), I began to add color grading of blue (cold). I adjust a bit in contrast to make it balance.

Mr Martin gave us a briefing on the production shooting. Below is the
storyboard and clips he provided us for guidline.
Fig 5.1 Storyboard

Fig 5.2 Guidline clips
Mr.Martin divide us into 2 groups and provide us the production crew list.
We were then task to shot scenes from the movie 'Everything Everywhere All
at Once'.

Fig 5.3 Crew list
A week before shooting, Mr.Martin bring us down to studio lab and practice
shooting using the camera, tripod, lighting and sound. The producer were
assigned to buy the battery for the camera.
Shooting
During the shooting day, everyone was busy to work on their own role. It runs
smoothly and unexpectedly we had so much fun during the processs.

Post-Production
Editing
Firstly, I watched and listened to all the clips and chose the best one. The I
look up at youtube for inspirations.
Moving on,I arrange the plot into the arrangement I want :
1. Open eyes
2. Open door and holding face
3. Pulling bag strap
4. Fighting
5. Mandarin dialogue
6. Don't need to explain
7. Men smiling
After arranging my clips as above, I began to think of the color that suits
the scene as we were assigned to colour grade the production shoot with the
combination of the following:
- Teal & Orange (clip 3)
- Bluish (cold) (clip 1)
- Greenish (cold) (clip 4)
- Brownish (warm) (clip 5&6)
- Desaturation, 50%-70% (clip 2)
- B & W, High Contrast (clip 7)
I upload the video and audio clips into Premiere Pro. I delete all the
original sound from the clips and just use the seprate audio clips. I began to
trim and cut the clips. Then start with the colour corection (contrast,
shadow, highlight and exposure) and (RGB colours). Next, I do colour grading
as following the list above. For some part, I add desnoise effect to
enhance the cast's sound. I also added some effect such as scale size into my
clips. In addition, I added some texts with linear effect. Lastly, I add the
rolling credits in the ending of the video.
RESULTS
REFLECTION
Experience
It was a fun and exciting experience to do shooting with my friends. It was my
first time to doing a production shooting, there a lot to be prepared before
the shooting. Although it was tiring, it was also fun at the same time. In
addition it was also my first time doing color grading in Premiere Pro and I
could say I was quite struggling doing this.
Observation
Doing color correction and color grading was very time consuming. My eyes were
almost so close to the laptop screen while editing. I need to closely pay
attention to the color of each clip, as some are in low light some are bright.
During the production shoot, I've observed that doing 1 shot is not as fast as
I imagine. A lot need to be considered from the shot size, angle, lighting,
audio and these need a lot of time to be ready.
Findings
Having color refernece for a video will make life easier to edit the rest of
the clip, although you still need to pay attention to one by one as
different clip might have different ligthing. I realized that I don't need to
folow the storyboard given for the production shooting, however, I could build
up my own creativity for the trailer video, it was fun exploring the shots.
