“Dearest gentle reader,” - Bridgerton
After starting the line edit of our film opening, other steps occur in the process, such as color grading, VFX, opening credits, and title credits. All these elements come into play to make our film opening a true film opening. Without further ado, let me talk about the color grading process of our film.
Here are some of the clips that we worked with, the before:

Color grading was a big part of our project since there are both inside and outside scenes, not only that, but with the outside lighting that tends to change, so shots look a bit darker than others. Keeping this in mind, we had to work with different tools to achieve a cohesive look throughout the film.
Part of the steps taken were white balancing the footage since some of it came out either blue or it had a hint of purple. To fix that issue, white balancing was a great help as well as playing with the tint and saturation of the basic correction in Adobe Premiere. Some we had to turn up the warmth and greens, while others not as much. Another step into this process was getting the correct brightness, which means that we went back and forth between the contrast and the exposure to see what fit best.
Here is the after by color correcting and color grading the clips:
