Color grading has boomed in the last few years, so Film Riot has gone back to basics to give filmmakers a necessary (re)introduction.
Since the earliest days of cinema history, color grading has been an integral part of the filmmaking process… And, wait, was that a scoff I detected?
Oh, so you think just because films were done in black and white that they didn’t have the need to color grade?
Well, think again, my friend, as color grading is truly an OG film skill. Just ask the guys from Film Riot, who in their latest video said, “Even in the days of black and white, different chemical treatments made it possible to give different atmospheres to the image.”
And there’s a lot more to learn from there. So whether you’re just starting or need to go back to basics, here’s everything you need to know about color grading here in 2022.
