Project 2A: Lalin (Editing, color correction & Color grading)

In this task, we are supposed to edit a video with 35 secs duration according to story board.


  • The process

Fig.1-1 importing videos
Download the footage and import it into Premium Pro while watching the tutorial video.


Fig.1-2 Shorting clips
When you make a video clip shorter, mark and press "i" where you want to start. While pressing "o" at the place you want to finish. Then send it down by clicking "insert." According to the storyboard, I repeated this task.


Fig.1-3 Arranging clips
When I did it the first time , the length of the video was over 1 min, so I adjusted it to 35 secs by trimming.


Fig.1-4 Adding effects
In the end, I added some effects to the video. Opening effect: video transition - cross dissolve at the despairing scene and dip to black both at the beginning and end of the video.

  • First attempt

After a week since I uploaded this video, I realized that I had to add chat graphics, so the following is a continuous process:

Fig.1-6 Adding graphics
At first, downloading graphics and phone sounds. Then place them into the timeline. At that time, I used different message notification sounds to reflect each character’s point of view by razor tools. That's how I finished this video editing.

  • Lalin (color correction & Color grading)
Fig.2-1 the process of Color correction and grading

I did color correction and color grading for Lalin with all shots and one adjustment layer on video track 3. At first, I opened the Lumecomi scope and selected waveform (Luma) to adjust the light setting while mimicking the waveform of the reference. After that, I opened Parade (RGB) to do color grading. I used a bluish color temperature for Lalin.

Project 2B: Production shoot

fig.3-1 behind the scenes
After shooting I download the footage and audio provided by my producer and edit a draft with synchronised dialogue for color correction and color grading in week 7.



Fig.3-2 Original videos and audio
I downloaded the footage from the shared file and placed it into Premium Pro.



Fig.3-3 Synchronizing audio and videos
I synchronized dialogue according to the instruction video: right-click and click "Merge Files," rename, check the audio track channel, and create a new sequence from the clip. After that,  I adjusted the length of each footage and put into the timeline in my preferred order. Then I searched for ambient sound and sound effects to enhance the video quality. I finished editing before color correction and grading.


The second task is doing colour grading for Production shoot with the combination of below: 

  1.  Teal & Orange
  2.  Bluish (cold)
  3.  Greenish (cold)
  4.  Brownish (warm)
  5.  Desaturation 50%-70%
  6.  B&W
  7. High Contrast

The process is the same as the one for Lalin.
