When shooting a scene, it always looks best when there is contrast between the colours, on the colour wheel we look for the colour that closely represents human skin, orange (within orange includes, peach and pink – which are both common skin tones). What I mean by ‘teal and orange’ is the colour influences of those two colours, the mid-tones and the shadows are being adjusted to blue and orange. In recent years the film industry in general have moved towards the ‘teal & orange’ look and because of that the corporate world has quickly followed. Now we understand what colour grading and colour correction are used for we can discuss how it is used in contemporary media. Colour correction involves other processes but removing noise/grain and adjusting exposure are the most common uses for it. Colour correction is used to repair images for example, we use colour correction to remove ‘noise/grain’ which are digital artefacts that are added to the image when scenes are dark or underexposed, or we use it to adjust exposure when scenes are too bright. It’s there to enhance the image creatively.
This is because a grade is there to give the image a look or to guide the audience. A video can be finished even without a colour ‘grade’. Colour grading is the backbone of the visual world and is used in every corporate video, commercial, documentary, film, web show, etc.… In short, it’s everywhere.Ī simple mistake most people make is confusing colour correction and colour grading. Colour grading is the process of altering and enhancing the colour of a film, video or photograph.
