Questions & AnswersThis is Kyle with Expert Village and we are talking about some things n Adobe Premiere. Now one of the things that you want to really make sure that you do is color correction. Color correction is a very extensive process. We are not going to have time to go into it right now but if you will just go down to your effects, go to your adjusts section and right now I am using HD color. Now go down to the effects and click down. One of the most basic things is the brightness and contrasts; pulling your brightness and contrast up. If you have a picture that is just lacking a small bit, maybe pull the brightness down just a few notches and pull the contrast up. A great way to punch. Even use that a lot to print. Your saturation. As you can see you can go all the way from black and white, all the way up to a very over saturated. Be very careful on saturations because if your reds or too bright and saturated, then on television it might look really muddy. So you know you've got your creative license here. You've got your reds, greens and your blues and you can pretty much between those 3 colors, pull them up and down and just try to see. If you shot your film on video, maybe just regular video home camera you want to give it more of a filmish, kind of movie, color corrections is going to really a vital part of that.
