Colour Correction

We wanted to link our music video to what a viewer would expect to see In a indie rock/pop music video therefore we looked at examples to fit in to that category. We looked at Youtube tutorials to apply colour correction, it was a simple task to play around with but we had to apply the same colour correction on every single video that we edited. Some videos had more sunlight because it was filmed on different days therefore there was more sunlight. Colour correction was a way forward to make the music video as a whole to give off an impression and an atmosphere towards a certain viewer.

Examples of music videos I looked at…(The Paper Kites - bloom)

The colours are quite soft that suits the song and the genre, the use of lighting gives an impression of a calm atmosphere to the music video. This is what we aim to do to target a certain viewer.

Before After

You can notice that the video before had different lighting, for example in one of the shots it was dark when character (Nawd) was sitting down in the corner. The colour correction that was included made it seem more cold that matches the lyrics. It was more of a brown hint of colour in the video.
