Class Advanced Workshop in Film Pre-Production

The Advanced Post-Production module aims to deepen the knowledge acquired previously (Color Treatment and Processing), reinforcing the color grading workflow. The aim is to work not only on the general aspects of shot matching and developing the look of scenes, but also to take care of skin tones, work with DCTL (DaVinci Color Transform Language), subtractive saturation, alpha channels, magic mask and other tools that are indispensable today

Teaching methodologies (assessment included). Teaching methodology geared towards technical knowledge, critical analysis skills and artistic and creative research processes in the context of post-production.Theoretical knowledge is complemented by the practice of challenges using various materials with a focus on the color correction of small scenes in class and the processes of preparing the project for color grading (conforming), as well as monitoring and mentoring processes around the projects that the students are developing. Assessment model geared towards evaluating the ability to acquire skills. The final grade combines five exercises related to the color grading process:  Conforming a timeline from an xml - 20% Quiz - 20% Shot Matching, Continuity of contrast and saturation of a short film - 20% Color correction for an advertising spot - 20% Export to various outputs - 20%
