Hey everybody, I recently just shot a short film for a student project, and in a few days i'm going to color my work at Continental Film Lab, in Miami, Florida.
My question is, to what extent can I manipulate my image? I've used Light Room for photography, and I'm familiar with photoshop, but what kind of aspects of color correcting 35mm film, and working with a basic color correction program for digital stills, are alike?
- Random Example of Questions -
Can I bring up the blues, and the contrast?
Can you crush the blacks, and bring up the clarity?
If somethings to bright, can I just bring it down a stop overall?
Etc...
- Particular questions -
Can you desaturate the skin tones?
Bring up the just the highlights?
And, if I do one of these things, and I don't care for it, can I change it back?
Thanks guys. I appreciate your helpful guidance.
