What is the treatment of film and television colorists? What are the prospects?

Small and medium-sized companies do not seem to have set up such a position, and generally take care of editing, color grading and other links in the later stage.

Now the post-production of film and television is roughly divided into: film and television special effects and synthesis. There are two categories: film and television editing and packaging.

Film and television special effects and synthesis, if the technology is good, the treatment is still very considerable.

There are relatively many practitioners in film and television editing and packaging.

If you want to learn systematically, you can consider signing up for a live online class, and recommend CGWANG's online class. The teacher speaks carefully, you can watch it back after the class, and there are also the same type of recorded classes that you can learn for free (give away lifelong VIP).

Among the training institutions in the field of "film and television post-production technology", [Wang's Education] is the leader in China, and it does not join the branches, but is a chain campus directly operated by the headquarters. Different from many other large institutions of the same type: each campus of Wang's Education is physically face-to-face, the teachers are hand-in-hand, and there are special class teachers from morning to night, and the liver-bursting learning mode will improve quickly, especially suitable for students with poor foundation.

The professional software for film editing is, of course, photoshop. The wedding dress industry is better, and there are people who get married no matter when they are. Generally, it is a basic salary + commission, less in the off-season and more in the peak season. The technique should be practiced quickly, and the faster the hand, the more you do, the more commission.

Nowadays, whether it is the pursuit of the best creators, film and television drama post-production personnel, or photography post-production, graphic post-production and other practitioners are working hard to learn color grading to make their works have a sense of high-end film. So, what movie has a sense of luxury? It gives people a sense of calm color picture, large dynamic range of light, and sharp contrast between warm and cold colors.

Kandinsky, the master of Dutch Mannerist abstraction, said: "Color is a means that can have a direct effect on the mind." Needless to say, the study of "color" was first applied to the field of painting.

Contrast and harmony of colors were already used in the Classicist period, until Impressionism emphasized the subjective expressiveness of color.

And using color to the limit is undoubtedly film color grading. Many novice colorists are always a little frightened when matching colors, because the more advanced the color matching, the more sensitive to subtle changes in color, if you can't quickly and effectively break through the color matching barrier, over time, it is easy to form a fixed routine, resulting in the style of the work is difficult to break through. How to understand the advanced and ordinary colors?

It's a common example when you watch a TV episode and immediately open a blockbuster movie that hits the box office, and then you can get a taste of what it means to be haute-spoiled. Today, let's learn how to use these high-end colors in those classic blockbusters.

"Quick eyes and hands" is the basic quality of film colorists. Film shooting is a very complex work, due to the constraints of various subjective and objective factors, even in the same scene, it is difficult to ensure that the lighting and color are completely consistent between different shots, which involves a lot of camera movement and scene scheduling, and it is even more difficult to deal with.

Faced with a large number of different shots, colorists need to analyze the various elements of the image in a short period of time, and be able to dial up the expected color style quickly, while also ensuring that the colors of each shot in the same scene are consistent. These are just the basics, and what is more difficult is the ability to master the details.

Ordinary people look at the master's color grading, twist it here, turn it twice there, and the picture doesn't seem to have changed much. When the whole process is finished, you feel that the color has been perfected. This is because masters can find and correct details that ordinary people can't notice, and the accumulation of quantitative changes leads to qualitative changes.

To reach the level of a master, you need not only keen insight, but also a high level of artistic accomplishment and years of work experience.

With a high threshold for entry, high learning difficulty, and high work pressure, it is natural that film colorists are "high-end and rare".

A rookie from a TV station, a palette with hundreds of thousands of computers in the computer room, all kinds of configurations, with headphones, and a handwriting board are the best, but, no! Person! Use!

My brother who taught me to grade doesn't need a palette at all, so I only use it to add a node to take a still frame, and I think it's a pity that there is no good colorist for Mao, because in addition to movie grading, you need a platform and a terrific colorist, ordinary** can be adjusted casually, or not at all. Therefore, everyone in the later stage will do a little color grading, and most of them are done casually by ae. There is no full-time color grading, and in the final analysis, the application of color grading is too limited.

Eating by color is the same as eating by watching the sky. It's not that it's difficult to mix colors, it's that it's really not easy to let people leave distractions behind and be a colorist quietly.
