Premire color adjust Function

Image
   In pr, the primary function of adjusting color is color correction -- RGB color correction or RGB curve or changing color. There are two curves in the Lumetri Color. The first one, like the others, allows you to use the luminescence curve to work with the tone of the image and work on individual curves. (Helpx.adobe.com, 2020)   The second is the hue/saturation curve. The function of this means that I can control the saturation based on hue. The professional tip here is to hold down the Shift key while dragging so that the tone doesn't change when you move outward or inward.   First of all, we need to adjust the color temperature, we must pay attention to, if not a special scene needs a specific color temperature, the color temperature must be white, and then can be stylized color. If the video material is obviously dark overall, we should adjust the exposure to make the image more comfortable. After adjusting the exposure, we continue to look at the material...

Black Swan film

Image
      For the group, the project is about the mental health problem. So I think the story of the black swan inspired our group project a lot. Because the black swan is a movie about psychological issues. I think the story of the plot is suitable for the plot of the group project script.     "Black swan" is full of horror, hallucinations and other supernatural phenomena, many people define it as a thriller, and then from the perspective of psychology, I found: this is a very typical psychological film, everything comes from the heroine's "repression".   The film is a layered exploration of consciousness and subconscious, with a clear structure and distinct context. The subconscious is stimulated and strengthened until it is integrated with consciousness, from the real dream to the half-dream, to the daydream, from the unconscious voice to the ever-escalating interdependence, to the unity of integration.    If the repressed confusion of sob...

Group Project Proposal

Image
   For this group project, we choose to produce an Interactive DVD. In the plan, a 1-minute video is reasonable. We are going to focus on mental problems in this project. In today's life, the social network is also one of the influences on mental problems, with the development of social networks, more and more young people are addicted to their mobile phones and can't recognize the real problems, which can even lead to mental diseases like depression. So I hope to reflect on these problems in the short film and also find the right actors to perform this situation.     Before we start the project, we can be inspired by some movies about mental problems. Also, I will search for some background for the movies. For example:The film Black swans(2010), The Joker(2019), and A Beautiful Mind(2001). After watching the movie, I will think about the plots in the film about mental health and combine them in the group project.     At the beginning of the project, ...

Chapter 8 Exercise 4:Adjusting the image with curves in photoshop

Image
    In the image adjustment menu, there are many tools to choose from, and the curve is one of the unique tools. The curve is not a filter. It is based on the original image to make some adjustments, unlike the filter can create out of thin air effect;    Curves aren't that elusive, and once if I've mastered the basics, you can master filters as quickly as any other tool. Control curves can bring you more drama, more beautiful will come from your people; Through the curve, I learned how to adjust the whole or individual channel contrast, can adjust the brightness of any local, can adjust the color.      Move the curve up and down to make the image lighter or darker. Move up the curve. When the input value is less than the output value: the image becomes brighter. The other way around it gets darker.    Since the curve reflects the brightness value of the image, a pixel has a specific brightness value that can be changed to make it br...

Chapter 8 Exercise 3 :Adjusting the image with Levels

Image
The color level is the light and shade information of the whole picture described by a histogram .  Modifying color levels is about expanding the dynamic range of a photo (the range of brightness the camera can record), viewing and correcting exposures, adjusting colors, and improving contrast. Overexposure can spill brightness of the photo.    Input color level: value is an input to change the brightness of the image. The histogram USES two-dimensional coordinates to represent the distribution of luminescence intensity of the image pixel. The primary function of input levels is to combine the black field/white field to change the ratio of the black field to the white field. The first step is to select the image -> in the menu bar to adjust the color level of -> (Ctrl+L), and the effect is as follows: (1) When the black field value increase, the picture will become dark. I adjusted the black field of the histogram by 60 so that the dark ...

Chapter 9 Exercise1: Double exposure in photoshop

Image
 "Double exposure" is a professional photographic term that means multiple exposures on the same negative. This mysterious and indescribable visual effect is the favorite style of countless photography lovers. Moreover, many cameras are also equipped with a "double exposure" function for the needs of fans. However, when we get two ordinary photos, in fact, as long as through a few simple PS design, also can achieve the "double exposure" effect!    Multiple exposures can be taken in different Spaces and at different times to meet the needs of artistic creation. Images can be overlapped, or with the help of a screen, so that the images are connected without overlap.   There is an example in "Herry Van der Weyde's image of the actor Richard Mansfield as Dr.Jekyll and Mr.Hyde."(Burrough and Mandiberg,2009) As early as in the era of film SLR, many photographers and photography enthusiasts superimposed two or more lighting negatives together thro...

Chapter8 Exercise 5: Targeting satuation levels

Image
Saturation and brightness, to a large extent, determine the color to the user's experience, the higher the saturation, lightness, the stronger the visual impact; Saturation, brightness is lower when on the vision milder. As can be seen from the below three pictures: when the saturation is at its lowest, the achromatic proportion is much more significant than the chroma proportion, and the picture becomes a "grayscale" diagram, which can be regarded as a "colorless" diagram. When the saturation is adjusted to the highest, the achromatic proportion is much less than the chroma proportion, and the picture becomes "rich and colorful". The picture details will be lost, and more "color blocks" will be generated, which makes it unreal. The role of natural saturation Intelligent enhancement of the screen relatively soft color and the original saturation of the color to stay the same. It's like lighting up a photo, but it...

Art of Photography Lecture review

Image
In such a digital age  We can hold on to almost any moment we want And share them online in just a few seconds Photography has become a worldwide hobby Although the history of photography is not as long as the history of painting, sculpture and other traditional arts, it has undergone earth-shaking changes in less than two hundred years photography is mainly realism, recording the moment that happens. Camera Obscura box,18th Century.      The realistic photography is one kind of long-standing photography school, stretches up to now, still is the photography art essential, the primary school. It is the reflection of realism in the field of photography. Realist photography makes me think that it may reflect the author's thoughts in the photos, and may combine politics with certain connotations. And above all, the images captured from real life, and frozen in a moment, must serve a particular theme, not capture anything.   However, modernism ...

Art Era Movement Lecture

Image
    In this lecture, I understand the development of western art, art in different stages also expressed mixed characteristics. The European Renaissance art from the 14th to the 16th century, to adhere to the practical method and reflect the humanistic thought, created a new art most in line with the realistic humanity under the banner of tracing back to the artistic spirit of ancient Greece and Rome.     The Baroque and Rococo styles appeared in the history of western art in the 17th and 18th centuries. Subsequent 19th-century modern paintings have successively appeared in neoclassicism, romanticism, realism, impressionism, and post-impressionism. Post-Impressionism represented by Cézanne, Van Gogh, and Gauguin at the end of the 19th century. Impressionism emerged in France in the late 19th century. This school of painting with innovative attitude, it opposed to the then already obsolete classical academic art concept and law, inspired by modern optics an...
