PROGRESS
LALIN - 35 Seconds
I downloaded the required materials from Google Drive and reorganized the order of all the shots. Then I simply edited each shot to the appropriate length. Then I created a sequence in Premiere Pro and put them in one by one.

Then I used the editing tool Mr.Martin told us to edit it to 35 seconds.

Below is the effect after I color-blended each shot. I found that the color of the third shot was softer, so I chose it as a sample for color grading. Compare and correct them one by one, and try to make them consistent.
Below is the comparison of each shot with the sample.









After this was done, I added an adjustment layer. Using brownish as a filter

REFLECTION

This was a very novel and interesting experience. It was also my first time to experience color grading. Color is not only an experience of color, but also a transmission of emotions for movies or videos. I mastered the skills of color grading in this process. However, in the color grading of Teal & Orange, I did not perform very well. I could not pick a satisfactory color. After continuous attempts, I finally adjusted the right one. I also realized in this process that each color conveys different emotions. Blue conveys inner loneliness and depression, Teal & Orange shows conflict, and black and white embodies a sense of fate.
