Editing the music video (6) (Color grading and conventions)

 Today I color graded all the clips individually. The exposure and lighting in different clips were very dissimilar, so I couldn't just add a single Lumetri Color Preset on an adjustment layer laid over the whole sequence. Thereafter, I color graded each clip manually according to the vibe I was going for.

This is an example of how I edited one of the clips.




As researched before, conventionally comedic videos are color graded in a way to give a natural look. Therefore, I didn't add an extreme faded effect or saturate the colors of the video clips. However, I added subtle tints, such as the pink tint used in the Close-up shot of Sheece, to represent love/affection (following the romance genre).


 However, deviating from conventions, I added exaggerated tints in certain parts to give a comedic effect (and also to represent feeling scared or shocked).

In this video, we went full swing on editing and mise-en-scene.  Action-Match and short takes prevented the video from being boring due to the limited camera angles and movements. Animation, adding layers of lower opacity, black and white tint effect, reverse and repeat effect made the music video look more interesting. Write-on and flash effects were used to introduce the title in an innovative way.  We used two studio lights, positioned at 45 degrees from the centre, with translucent white and red filters. A third light was used to form a rim of light behind the actress.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rfe_siD6IE

SCREENING

Once the music video was finally made, I was dying to see the audience reaction. Not just online but in real life too! The feedback I got was very positive and gratifying. The best part was showing the music video to the actors, who were amazed by the edited version of the clips they remembered shooting.
