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).

Dignity Day Video

Today we celebrated dignity day in our school and being the head of filmmaking society I made a video about it. The video started off with a fun fast-paced soundtrack to create suspense and interest. I added text with a simple question, in the start, to encourage engagement with the audience; which is ironic since this video can be considered a part of hot media (which demands little interaction from the viewer/user).  Two interviews were added to give the video a documentary feel.  A smooth audio transition from the diegetic and non-diegetic sounds of the interviewee and background score respectively to an 'Urdu poetry' was made. The poetry was accompanied by slow-motion shots of students and lower staff members to give a dramatic effect.   https://youtu.be/kzJ9UjASq3c
