Color Correction

         I have completely assembled my film opening and I have moved on to color correction. I cropped every clip to give the impression of a letterbox, simulating a cinema aspect ratio. Also, I overlaid Lumetri Color presets such as SL Gold Orange and SL Blue Ice to desaturate the footage and create a cold tone. I inputed a Premiere Pro effect called "Noise HLS Auto" to add grain because I wanted my opening to seem distressed and warn out. Before I made these changes final, I researched how to make a scene more dramatic using editing. I found that by using these certain presets with an added letterbox turns what seems like a home movie into a cinema. Below you can see the changes I made from the original footage next to the edited one.
