Post Production Colour

"COLOUR IS A POWER WHICH DIRECTLY INFLUENCES THE SOUL. COLOUR IS THE KEYBOARD, THE EYES, THE HAMMER, THE SOUL IS THE PIANO WITH MANY STRINGS. THE ARTIST IS THE HAND WHICH PLACES, TOUCHING ONE KEY OR ANOTHER TO CAUSE VIBRATION IN THE SOUL. IT IS THEREFORE EVIDENT THAT COLOUR HARMONY MUST REST ONLY ON A CORRESPONDING VIBRATION IN THE HUMAN SOUL." - W. Kandinksy - 'Concerning the Spiritual in Art' - The Art of Looking Sideways


I have captured some footage, however am not entirely happy with the overall colour of the image. The lighting was too bright and parts of the image burns out on the screen, which I will correct once I begin to edit. Because colour is a major issue in this project, I have researched into colour correction and modification, and what makes colour look good on screen.

My lighting skills have improved greatly, from the tests and photographs I took of each character, however there were still some obvious exposure and lighting problems on set. I want to enhance the specific colours of each sin, as this is what i want to stand out most. Because I am more interested in the response of the audience to the visual and sound link, I am relying on good colour to completely change the perception of the mood, alongside the sound.
