Continuity

While filming we had to shoot on seperate days and we came across a major continuity flaw. Nese's top wasred on the first day but grey on the others which I've shown in the pictures below.



At first I was going to scrap the footage and cut the shot out completely, but the scene looks weird without the full shot. Then I thought of films like Pleasantville when they make one object in colour and the rest in black and white and vice versa. I looked online for tutorials of how to do this and followed the video.

All I had to do was add the 3-way colour corrector effect tot he clip and used the dropper tool to select the red and set the saturation to zero. Then I expanded the colour selection until Nese's whole top was grey.
After doing this I realised it was effecting Christie's top and made the room really bright. To stop this I put an Eight-Point Garbage Matte around Nese and overlaid the video on an untouched copy of the video.


This is the before and after images.
