Colour Correction Research

I chose a natural skin tone on the right using the Adobe Kuler website. This then produces the colours that will complement the chosen colour. This allows me to know what colours should be used on Magic Bullet Looks and Magic Bullet Colorista for things such as the shadows. The colours that are shown are all close to a teal colour as this colour complements a natural skin tone. Magic Bullet Looks and Magic Bullet Colorista are plug-ins that can be used on Adobe After Effects to change a video’s colour using a variety of features. This in turn changes the overall feel of the video and gives it a movie like quality. A range of different combinations of colour cane be used to create the style and feel that you want your video to have.

This shows how video can be altered by using Magic Bullet Looks and Magic Bullet Colorista. The overall picture feels different and has been given a near movie like quality. The picture is also clearer with shadows being darker.

This shows some of the features that can be used in Magic Bullet Looks and Magic Bullet Colorista. Lots of different features can be added to the video as well as presets that can be useful. The amount of features range from simply adding contrast to adding whole new light to your video.
