Without Mr Martin's presence, we were challenged to do our very own production shoot, which was pretty tough at first. However, as the team progresses, it became easier and we got more used to our respective roles. I was the light director for the exercise and the key feature I had to take note of was how similar the lighting is and if any changes could be made to make the lighting more alike. 

Week 6 :
  • Color correction refers to the process where every individual clip of a video footage is altered to match color temperature of multiple shots to a consistent technical standard of appearance.
