Color Grading: Creating a Cinematic Look

What is a cinematic look? In this course we'll go over what makes up a cinematic grade and how to get there. You'll learn about the many characteristics that make up this look and watch as I grade 2 separate projects to get that polished look we're all after. This course is for beginner to intermediate students who may not be experts but are ready to expand their color correction and grading knowledge.

In this course we'll learn about:

• Top Cinematic Traits
• Film Grain
• Frame Rate

Ending with a grading session where you'll watch me take a film through to create a cinematic grade! So if you're interested in getting your footage and film to the next level, let jump right in!
