Hi people, i am new to illustrator and am having some difficulty editing a logo i had created. I am stuck on how to individually change the colour of what I select without it changing the colour of the other parts of the logo. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

THat looks like a compound path.

Sadly your video is very blurry. So if you could record the screen using your system tools, that would help.

 

To release the compound path, use Object > Compound path > Release.

    When in isolatipn mode, it clearly shows that you are in a compund path. That is why all of the other objects within the compund path are also changing color. As @Monika Gause has said, in order to recolor separately, you must release them per her instructions.
