Post Production: Color grading

Colour Grading

Due to the large amount of footage that is taken in the evening, and due to the lack of studio lighting that is required for a not shooting, the shots that we produced were grainy. As a result, I did a simple editing and color grading to get rid of most of the visible glitches. For this, I used Adobe AfterEffects to clean up footage.




First I dragged in the footage create a second layer for planning


Then, on the effects bar, there is an icon where we can adjust the colour grading of the video called "Colour Correction". There I dragged in the effects edits such as Hue and Saturation, Black and White and Auto levels to play around and adjust the colours of the video.


The videos were taken at night, so the outcome will lead with footages with a large amount of noise due to the high ISO settings that must be changed in order to capture footage using natural light un darkness. For this, AfterEffects has an effects icon in the Noise & Grain section called "Fractial Noise" where it basically cancels out the layers of noise i the video. For this, I just dragged in onto the file for the effect to work.
