  • Introduction to Color Grading 23 Introduction to Color Grading
    Introduction to Color Grading 23 Introduction to Color Grading For over thirty years, DaVinci has pioneered the development of color correction hardware and software designed to enhance visual images acquired from film and video. DaVinci Resolve possesses our newest and most evolved professional color correction tools yet. However, for all its technological sophistication, Resolve is merely a tool that requires the hands of a skilled artist to realize its full potential. Subsequent chapters of this user manual cover the DaVinci Resolve grading tools in the Color page in great detail, but before getting into the specifics of color balancing and contrast adjustment, Power Windows and Custom Curves, it’s important to step back and consider what these tools are for, and why you’re learning to use this application in the first place. This introduction is for those of you who are new to this process we call color correction, or color grading. If you’re a veteran colorist then you might want to skip ahead, but if you’re just starting out, the following sections are intended to describe the many goals of color correction, and how the DaVinci Resolve toolset has been designed to address them; making it fast and efficient to alter images in innumerable ways as we elevate raw footage to cinematic art. The Goals of Color Correction 550 Maximizing the Look of Your Media 550 Emphasizing What’s Important 553 Audience Expectations 554 Balancing Scenes 555 Adding Style 557 Quality Control 560 Never Stop Experimenting 561 Chapter 23 – Contents 549 The Goals of Color Correction If reality is a fire hose of visual information, then digital cinema and broadcast would be represented by a garden hose.

  • Goodbye to Film School: Please Close the Door on Your Way Out
    7 Goodbye to Film School: Please Close the Door on Your Way Out T o b y M i l l e r am not an expert on film schools, though I used to work in one. Nor have I I undertaken an exhaustive analysis of the six hundred such entities that sup- posedly exist across the United States. 1 But here I am, writing about that sym- bolic behemoth of the film school, the United States. Three film schools stand out among the putative six hundred: the University of Southern California (USC—a private university in Los Angeles), the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA—part of the state’s é lite ten-campus public sys- tem), and New York University (NYU—also private, and where I taught for over a decade). The Hollywood Reporter ’s list of the top 25 film schools has those three in the top five, along with the Beijing Film Academy and the American Film Institute.2 I am particularly interested in these three universities because they are Research-One schools and hence produce ruling-class hegemons and scholarly researchers as well as factory fodder / creatives for world cinema. And their film academies started early—USC in 1929, UCLA in 1947, and NYU in 1965. I’ve drawn on experience, anecdotal repute, and political-economic-environmental analysis to investigate the culture of these film schools, their employment impact, their cost, and their future. Here’s my headline: film schools shouldn’t exist. They should be schools of media and cultural studies, dedicated to displacing both the residual humani- ties (textual analysis and history) and the emergent humanities (business stud- ies).
