DaVinci Resolve Lite

 Whilst undertaking research on various software available for colour-correcting, I came across DaVinci Resolve 10 Lite (DRL) which is a free version of the popular Davinci Resolve software. I watched various tutorials on the basics of colour-correcting in DRL and weighed up the pros on cons of using the software. I was informed that the software features a relatively high learning curve, and by the point in which I received this information I had already coloured approximately one third of our film within Final Cut Pro 7. Therefore I decided the best option would to carry on colouring Home Away From Here within FCP7.

The director and myself are both happy with the results FCP7 has produced so far, however I have concluded that any future projects will be colour-graded using a different piece of software (DaVinci Resolve Lite or Magic Bullet). This semester I have discovered the power and importance of colour-grading films. A professional production requires this process and if I am serious about furthering my experiences in the field, then I will take it upon myself to learn and experiment with the different software available.
