Week 4
1. What is colour correction?
Colour correction is the process of adjusting the colour of a video or image to ensure that it looks natural and accurate. This involves adjusting the brightness, contrast, saturation, and hue of the footage to fix any colour imbalances caused by lighting conditions, camera settings, or other factors. The goal is to create a uniform and consistent look throughout the video or image.
2. What is colour grading?
Colour grading is the process of creatively manipulating the colours of a video or image to achieve a desired artistic effect. This involves adjusting the colours to enhance the mood or atmosphere of the footage, create a particular look or style, or tell a story. It often involves using colour grading tools to adjust the highlights, midtones, and shadows, as well as adding colour tints or filters.
3. What are the differences between colour correction and colour grading?
The main difference between colour correction and colour grading is their purpose. Colour correction is focused on ensuring that the footage looks natural and consistent, while colour grading is focused on creative colour manipulation to achieve a specific look or style. While they may involve similar techniques and tools, they are used for different purposes and achieve different results.
4. Are both colour correction and colour grading necessary while editing video? Or just do one of them?
Both colour correction and colour grading are important steps in the video editing process. Colour correction ensures that the footage looks natural and consistent, while colour grading allows for creative manipulation of colours to achieve a particular look or style. It's recommended to perform colour correction first to ensure a consistent baseline, and then perform colour grading to achieve the desired artistic effect. However, the amount of colour correction and colour grading required will depend on the quality of the original footage and the desired outcome.
Short summary:
Colour correction is the adjustment of colours in a video or image to make them look natural and consistent. Colour grading is the creative manipulation of colours to achieve a specific artistic effect or style. Colour correction ensures consistency, while colour grading allows for creative enhancement. Both are important in video editing, with correction done first for a consistent baseline, followed by grading.
Colour correction & grading exercise:

| Figure 1.7: Colour correction & grading 1 |
 |
| Figure 1.8: Colour correction & grading 2 |

| Figure 1.9: Colour correction & grading 3 |
It is a video clip consisting of 3 scenes, each scenes have different slightly different lighting and shadows, so there is some correction that needs to be done.

From this exercise, I have learned the basic of applying colour correction & colour grading on video clips, it is quite a pleasure to have the freedom to express a desired artistic effect through editing the colours of video.
Week 9
For this week, we are doing stop motion exercises with groupmates, here are some outcomes that we made:
Figure 2.2: Stop motion exercise 1, using Stop Motion Studio phone app
Figure 2.3: Stop motion exercise 2, using phone camera
From this stop motion exercise, I have learned to use Stop Motion Studio app and phone camera for shooting stop motion. I noticed that Stop Motion Studio doesn't really provide a good photo quality compared with phone camera, so I might just use phone camera for shooting my final stop motion project.
