Production: Colour correcting our footage

Although we used a decent qulaity camera, we still have to make all of our footage the same colour. We did this by colour correcting the footage on Final Cut Express.

Setp 1: On Final Cut Express, we had went to the drop down menu at the top of the software. We clicked on 'Effects', then 'Video Filters' and then finally 'Brightness and Contrast (Bezier). This would creect the colouring of the footage, either making it lighter or darker, but in our case we wanted the footage to be lighter as the shot was in a dark place.

Step 2: Once clicking on the correct option, two colour wheels appear for us to use. By clicking and moving the colours wheels around change the colour of the shot. For example, we wanted this shot to become more brighter so we put more red into the shot to make it a little more brighter. To add more brightness or darkness, you can use the dials below the wheels to change the colour. We have now colour corrected our footage and can now do this process to the other video footage.
