Color correction and color grading can be daunting, especially if you're new to filmmaking. There are so many different vectors and scopes that it can seem difficult to know where to begin. If you're at a point in your video career where you're ready to add more stylized looks to your footage and film projects then this is the class for you!

In this class, Hallease will walk you through the basics of color correction and color grading in Adobe Premiere Pro. First, she'll provide you with two types of video projects to work from. The first will be scenes from a narrative project that she produced. That's right, you'll be acting as a colorist for two scenes of a narrative project! She'll also provide you with two vlog scenes from a travel video she created on her channel. This will require you to flex a different colorist muscle.

WHO IS THIS CLASS FOR?

Using the footage she’s provided to download and follow along, she’ll walk you through the Premiere Pro interface for working with color. She’ll also give you an overview of color science and technology. This class is recommended for anyone who has a firm understanding of the Adobe Premiere Pro interface. If you do not, check out Hallease’s class on the basics of Premiere Pro!

WHAT YOU WILL NEED

For this class, you’ll need the latest version of Adobe Premiere Pro and an internet connection so you can download my sample footage and follow along with me as I work through the lessons. You'll also need to stay curious. Color correction and grading isn't an exact science - at least not to me. I want you to experiment and have fun with it. If you want to break the rules, then do that!
