hi I'm briquette our mellow break your mellow calm and in this video I'm gonna
color grade footage I shot with the Osmo pocket and de cine Lake mode and I'm
gonna show you how I do that in Premiere Pro and then I'm going to show you how
that footage looks next to the normal shot footage and footage that I didn't
color grade in decent Lake so let's get right into our computer and get started
so now we're in Premiere Pro and the image I have right here it's this
painting a wall I liked it because there's all these different colors and
over here in the upper right hand corner you can see this building in the
background very dull very plain just some Gray's maybe a little beige tone
right there silver blacks so it has a lot of different colors in it so I
thought it'd be a good one to color correct basically what I do is adjust
the white balance and some of the tones in order to color correct it and then I
go into a proper color grading which adding all these things like curves
color wheels etc so for this image you can see the final image it looks like
this alright now you may say oh I don't like that that's way too saturated I
wanted to color grade it this way or change it this way it's all subjective
so you can do it how you want to do it this is how I liked it there's a million
ways you can do it I'm just gonna show you the way I did it what I did was I
started with the temperature and I made it a little warmer brought it to the
right 17.2 so I've made it much warmer in tone because if you notice it's kind
of cool in tone right there so I made it a little warmer
I didn't adjust the greenish tones or the magenta tones I just left left the
tin alone and then I went on to the exposure now for the exposure I noticed
it was a little underexposed if you look over here you can see it's a little
underexposed so I brought that up to 0.5 and you know
my bad I didn't properly expose the image it's good to get that right in
camera because you really don't want to mess around with that I could have also
adjust the exposure down here with my curves I could have just taken this mid
point and brought it up but I didn't do that I just did it here because there's
a little simpler to do and then I adjust my contrast now you can adjust your
contrast right here I brought it up to 55 or you can go to your
so you can bring the shadows down are you making the shadows darker and then
you're making the highlights brighter okay so you bring that little curve up
this way and I just did it ever so slightly so I added after the fact I
added even a little more contrast but initially I added 55 which is quite a
bit of contrast because you notice the initial image is very flat so I need
some contrast to it so I added a bunch of contrast right there and I also added
a bunch of highlights so I noticed around the eyes it was kind of dull it
didn't have much of a pop and I noticed with this painting the girl's eyes are
really the focal point to me her eyes any type of portrait you want to be
drawn to the eyes so that's the most important part other than the colors
which are really tremendous in this painting so what I did was I brought the
highlights up to 14.8 to emphasize her eyes right there especially since it's
white it's gonna be the highlights so I brought that up and then the shadows I
already had adjusted the contrast so much so I just brought that down
negative one all right just added a little more darkness to the shadows and
then I didn't really adjust the whites or the blacks left those alone I noticed
for the saturation it was very flat so what I did was I added as you can see
right here was very flat right it needs more color to it more
saturation I went all the way up to 107 now that might be a little too much
maybe I overdid it maybe I could have gone down to like 105 maybe if I just
left it where it was initially even that looks okay like maybe you like more of a
cinematic look you don't like so much saturation but you know the colors are
really should be emphasized in this so I brought it up to 107 I think I like that
a little more then I went to the creative now in the creative I sharpened
it a little bit now this is gonna be 0 it depends what you want I don't want to
sharpen it too much because this is a more artistic looking piece anything
where you want a cinematic look you don't want to sharpen it too much all
right I think a lot of people make that mistake they sharpen it too much so I
just added 10 I probably could have gone a little more but I just left it at 10
okay then the vibrance the vibrance adds even more like color to it a little more
makes it kind of pop out a little more a little more saturated so I added 15
felt like I could have gone 20 or 25 but I felt like that was a little too much
all right I didn't want to make it look too kind of wacky
too artificial I wanted to make it kind of tastefully done but still kind of pop
out a lot so I did 15 for that all right now we move down to the shadow tint in
the high light tint for films a lot of times you'll see people do this so this
is what I did and it just seemed right after I did it so I took this shadow
tint and I moved it more to the blue and I took the highlight tint and I moved it
more towards the orange okay so if you move the shadows to blue and the
highlights to orange you're gonna get a more cinematic film type of look they
call it the Hollywood look but you can call it whatever you want I think it
looked good with this because we do see a lot of oranges over here we see the
Blues everywhere as well so I felt like it fit well with this image and also
it's a person's face so it works really well with skin tones and people's
portraits people's faces even though this isn't a real person I still feel
like it fit to do that so I just did it ever so slightly you don't want to do it
too much and I just made it ever so slightly so that's what I did and then
we're gonna go to curves as I said before I adjusted added a little more
contrast brought the shadows down the highlights up you don't want to go crazy
at first you should just adjust it ever so slightly and then see how it looks
and then you can change it later maybe add a little more if you don't like it
and then you can keep going back and forth so you know I look at it and then
I go forth to the original if you want just to see how much it changed so
that's one thing I do when I do color correction and color grading and then I
move now to the color wheel so we're well into the color grading part of this
tutorial this video even this kind of stuff where you're adding the shadow
tint and highlight tint to me this is more color grading than color correction
but whatever you want to call it we're we're adding different colors and tones
and we're manipulating the image to make it look the way we want it to look okay
so it's always a personal thing so again don't say oh what are you doing I would
never do that okay you don't have to do it my way I'm just showing you the way I
did it okay but there's a million ways you could do it so we go over here for
the shadow you know this is blue and this is blue
that means I changed it this is white right here for the mid-tones so since
this was a very flat image there wasn't a lot of contrast to it I didn't really
need to adjust the mid-tones the mid-tones were fine but I noticed that
the shadows needed a little to be brought down even more and highlights
prop ever so slightly so that also added a little more contrast so I did it here
in the color wheel I did it with the curves and I also did it with the
contrast initially so all three of those things really made the image pop out
more may the colors more vibrant and made the highlights brighter and the
shadows darker so those three things can help and those are three ways to do it
the secondary temperature right here I didn't do any of that and the vignetting
I didn't want to add any vignetting I liked it the way it was and that's what
I did okay so you can see back original and then color graded obviously it's
like night and day it's completely different so that's how I did this image
you can do it sort of however you want but this is what I did now I'm going to
show you a comparison of all three of them so I'm gonna show you normal mode
I'm gonna show you decent like and then I'm also gonna show you the color graded
so that you can see whether you want to shoot in normal mode or if you prefer to
put in the extra effort to shoot in decent light and then color grade it so
we're gonna get into it right now
all right I hope that video was helpful obviously color grading is very
subjective so you can do it in your own particular way but I showed you how I do
it if you did enjoy this video press that like button and if you want to see
the video that I made right after DGI release the de cine like mode comparing
de cine like to the normal mode you can look at that over there
