Editing

Colourisation

Today we started to edit the colours on the clips to make them stand out more and be more visually interesting. We played around with the saturation to make the colours more vivid, however this made the artist skin tone slightly orange. We continued experimenting with the colours using the three-way colour correction tool until we settled upon what we thought looked natural but still bold and bright.
Here is an example of the difference the colourisation has made so far. The first video being the original footage and the second being the edited footage. Overall I am pleased with the difference this has made to the footage however I think we could still work to further enhance the colours, especially in scenes such as the skate park to make the graffiti far more vivid than it already is.

Powder paint colouring issues

During the process of making the powder paint we decided to split up the job. To try to make some more vivid colours. This has been a challenge as the cornflour makes the colour more of a pastel colour than a vivid colour, no matter how much food colouring you add. The colour we have had a real problem with is red. As the cornflour dulls the vivid red to a lighter pink. Unfortunately we have not been able to create a vivid red. But we have decided that we can solve this problem by optimising the colour during our editing.
