Why do videographers need to color correct?

473 viewsOtherTechnology

I have worked with a few videographers on big shoots, but don’t have much experience myself other than little behind the scenes type of videos shot with an iPhone. One thing I noticed is that the initial footage is always super washed out. Then they color correct it, and bam! Awesome footage.

Why do they shoot it that way? It’s obvious to me that there’s a reason— they’re I professionals, and they know what they’re doing— but I have no idea what that reason is!

When you’re coloring in your coloring book, it might be a good idea to use the lightest crayon colors you can so that you can adjust with deeper colors as your coloring progresses. Maybe the tiger needs to be a deeper orange, or the tree’s leaves need to be darker.
