Within this edit, the main objective was to colour grade the footage in order to provide the look and feel I intend on achieving with my project; this is to ensure that the audience grasp a the character's emotional response as the colours within the frame enforce a particular idea on both the characters as well as their surroundings.
I decided to have two separate colour pallets for my project; used for different sequences within the film, as this would help provide my desired intentions for the key moments within the media product.
The Basement
For the colour pallet within the basement sequences, I wanted to have a blue tint over the footage as this provided the scene with a bland look whilst connoting the cold and isolated mind state the character 'Max' is experiencing.
How I achieved this look was by manipulating the RGB curves and reducing the colours red and green but the blue within the frame to given my desired look.

The Office
For the office sequence, I wanted a colour pallet that is dull but also stylishly represents the location and the characters within them.
Within the office sequence, I decided to have a predominantly green look for the location as it reflects the dull environment an office tends to have as there it rarely any form of energy or excitement seen by anyone there. The dull look of this sequence is meant to convey the lack of happiness within Max's life, a bleak existence as he lives daily with nothing but negative intentions to inflict the pain and suffering onto others in order for him to gain some form of pleasure.

Reflection
Overall the project is coming together very well with all of the major tasks within the edit now done. The product will be complete after some minor tweaking has been made in regards to continuity and pacing.
