Learning new filters

 Hey guys! Today I was thinking about my short film and how I could use filters to help me achieve the perfect mise en scene. I wanted to do this now because I want to see how it will look, to know whether I should but a lot of color coded props or not. It would be nice to have good filters and effects because it saves my money. The only exceptions are the clothing the main character will wear, as I know it's going to be moving and an effect might not look good (learned it from last year's project).

Playing With Color Tints

I love how simple this is. It can help me a lot on getting the vibe that I want.

Then I watched a video on color isolation.

 

Color Isolation

BASIC METHOD

⁃ effects->color correction->leave color-> “color to leave”-> select the color you want to isolate (you can adjust the tolerance to see how much yellow can be found, for example)

⁃ something to consider would be clicking on match colors-> color hue, so that only the colors I want show up.
⁃ quick and nice

COMPLEX METHOD

⁃ more customizable
⁃ go to effects panel, search up “lumetri color”
⁃ take it and place it onto the video
⁃ go to effect controls
⁃ in lumetri color, click on “curves”
⁃ “hue saturation curves”
⁃ take color dropper and put on desired color
⁃ you can keep clicking the dropper and it will add more shades
⁃ to desaturate the other shades, pull their dots down
⁃ more accurate

Changing the color of objects

instructions for changing colors in adobe premiere pro

METHOD 1- change to color effect

effects-> video effects-> change to color-> effect controls-> change to color effect
-hit color dropper and click the color that you wanna change in the box “from”
-click in the color you want it to change into in the box “to”
it is going to be on hue. You can change it but it might look weird, for that 

you can adjust the tolerance.

METHOD 2- hue vs hue

⁃ window-> lumetri color
⁃ hue saturation curves-> hue vs hue
⁃ pick euedropper and put on color
⁃ to perfect the color around edges and other harsher places, you can also select them with

 an eyedropper.

- if you want that color on a specific object and not all objects that have this color, you can create a mask at effect controls->lumetri color->choose a tool

⁃ after that, you’re going to click on mask path and keyframe how long you want it 

to last for

METHOD 3- HSL secondary

⁃ lumetri color-> HSL secondary
⁃ use first eyedropper and pick color
⁃ click on color/gray to see what you are selecting
⁃ you can use the second color picker and drag it all around the object to get

 the right colors

⁃ you can also go to the third (minus color picker) and subtract out an 

undesired color.
⁃ the S can help see how much you selected. the triangles at the edges show 

how much you can fade it.
⁃ to change the actual color of the object, go on the color hue bow and 

choose it.
⁃ if it doesn’t look good, you can click the three tiny circles on the corner

 of the color wheel, its going to open to the midtones, highlights and shadows.
