Week 6 consisted of working and understanding colour correction for final production. This skill is essential for multiple reasons. Ensuring visual consistency, enhancing the mood of an image and most importantly, giving a high quality image a polished look.
We acknowledged that colour correction can fix issues within photos, make them become more bold and establish what it should look like opposed to what it does.
These steps and processes are so important to photography. Proper colour treatment ensures that there is a clean and precise look – subtle changes make it look all the more better.
Working with my St Louis Blues picture was hard, i wanted to bring out the blue and yellow which is so iconic with the Blues presence. However, whilst enhancing these colours, the ice rink started to go yellow.
These mistakes are good to learn now as i can work around it and attempt to keep the bold colours but in a way where it still keeps its subtle look.
