On the 26th of September, my friend and classmate, Tancredi Korsak provided me with the e-mail of a professional colourist named Marco De Stefanis.

Mr. De Stefanis gave us a very interesting class on the basics of colour correction on Thursday the 18th of April

This e-mail was sent by me to mr. Thompson who was also the director of our short film.

Once I concluded my research and interview one thing was clear for the function of the colourist.

The voice of the director has to be translated into colours, hence the e-mail of trying to see what is wanted by him.

E-mail received by professional colorist.
19th of November
Once I received the e-mail from our director (Patrick Thompson) I proceeded with informing Mr. Marco De Stefanis about the instructions I have received. His reply cleared some things up for me and helped me understand what colour correction type I am going for.

A notable mention that helped me get into the colour world (in movies) is an Instagram page that I started following shortly after I was assigned the role of the colourist.
The page is called @filmandcolor.
They take stills from movies and analyse them in terms of colour.

This is a screen capture scroll of the feed of the page.
It's safe to say that it inspired me a lot and made me want to colour grade the film as soon as possible.

Another page I stumbled upon and started following is one that displays the colours of FULL movies in 1 poster like image. These movies and type of extensive colour boards were also seen in a link shared by our director Patrick Thompson.

The research on colour grading was mainly done on youtube. Here are the videos that helped me understand what and how to do it.

Once I concluded my desk research on colour grading and received the instructions from our director, I started working on the scenes in Da Vinci Resolve.
However, the requirements of the director were relatively easy to be met therefore I decided to complete the colour correction on Final Cut Pro. I did that by setting keyframes for the different scenes and adjusted the colour value adequately for each.
