The importance of color grading
Color grading is important in film and television production. It can arouse the audience's viewing emotions and even change the style of a film. Color grading plays a decisive role in the film, as it can foreshadow plot twists and highlight the development of the plot through specific colors. Color correction can change the contrast, exposure and saturation of the picture, making the video more vivid and interesting, and improving the audience's viewing experience.
In the later stages of film production, color grading is an essential process. During the shooting process, the light and tone of the scene may change due to equipment or personnel. In post-production, the colorist will adjust the picture to ensure that the color of the picture matches the theme of the film to achieve better expression.
