COLOR GRADING in Adobe Premiere Pro

     Today as it's a Friday I and Richy as well as other people in the other group stayed until 4PM after school. Reason being that we wanted to finish our coursework this week. Therefore we hooked up my laptop to the HDMI chord of the TV in our classroom. I wanted use it because my laptop monitor screen is slightly desaturated that what is shown on a normal TV or monitor, furthermore so that everyone is able to see the picture clearly.

      We discussed back and forth between about what the end product should look like, first we were going for a more warm look to indicate that it's in the afternoon but then we decided to look at the color theory for a more informative perspective on this. As shown in the image below, warm color tend to give the feeling of warmth and positiveness. Therefore we changed to a more "dead" feeling. that only left us with blue and it turned out great!



         The first screenshot shows the initial color grading we were going with, the bottom screenshot is the one used in the final opening and as seen, the second looks more intimidating that the first with the low key lighting and a "cooler" look rather than the warm one. The vignette of both were kept at the same amount.


          Overall, I think this method of connecting my laptop to the HDMI of the school's TV is definitely an effective way of working in a team It makes everyone see clearly what the product looks like and I might even use it in future uses. However, one weakness is that I cannot access the keyboard without being directly under the TV so I must walk over every time I there is something wrong that needed the keyboard. Other than that, my mice wire was super long so there is no worry on that aspect.
