About the programme
Course Overview
A corporate film succeeds or fails on craft that most viewers never consciously notice: consistent colour, a clean edit and a properly mixed soundtrack. This course covers the post-production workflow for corporate films from rough cut to final delivery, with a focus on colour grading. Participants learn colour correction fundamentals, balancing exposure, white balance and skin tones across shots from different cameras and locations, before moving into creative grading that establishes a consistent tone matching a brand's visual identity. Sessions cover grading software workflows, look development using colour references, and matching shots filmed in different lighting conditions so a finished film reads as one continuous piece. The course also addresses the editorial side of post-production: structuring a corporate narrative, pacing interviews and supporting footage, and integrating motion graphics and titles. Audio sessions cover dialogue cleanup, music licensing considerations and mix levels for corporate delivery. Participants finish by grading and finishing a short corporate film sequence to a defined delivery specification.
