DESCRIPTION
Working with camera footage shot in Log format (Log C encoding), such as on the Arri Alexa, gives you the greatest dynamic range (the most information in both highlights and shadows), but also demands colour grading to correct what looks like a washed out, low contrast image. This is just the most recent development affecting the job of the colour grader, who otherwise works to ensure that all shots in a continuity sequence are colour matched, while also achieving the colour and contrast that match a director's aesthetic criteria (the look of a film). This Module is technical in its focus, designed to give students an experience of working to industry standards and according to established workflows in professional colour grading suites, using footage shot on High End digital cinema cameras.
