Color grade The Drop using Lumetri Color.

I’m really pleased with how this project turned out.  Even without any color grading or correction done, the footage looks really good.  We can make it look even better, though.

Film a project together that shows off various lighting techniques.

Emulate different film styles using lighting.

Over the next two weeks, we’re going to be working on our mid-semester project.  Filmmaking is a collaborative process, so rather than assigning everyone an individual project, we’re going to work on this project as a group.  You will each be graded based on your creative input, your on-set skills and knowledge, and your ability to work as part of a team.

Use different contrast ratios to illuminate faces.

Let’s see some inspiring examples of lighting.
