Colour grading and colour correction only took one day but it was a full day of hard work!

Scene 1 (Interview scene)

jlhouston — 2024-05-07 11:26:29 UTC

I wanted to add to the uncomfortable feel of this scene by making it cold and dreary. I also made it a bit darker to enhance some of the long shadows too.

Scene 2, 3, 4 and 8 (Flat Scenes)

jlhouston — 2024-05-07 11:31:55 UTC

I made Scene 2, 3 and 4 feel a bit warmer than Scene 1 as this is where Sally lives. It's not too warm though as it's right after the interview scene and the light looks naturalistic here.

Scene 8 is very similar as it's when Sally returns to the flat after her walk and shop.

Scene 5 (Preacher Scene)

jlhouston — 2024-05-07 11:37:01 UTC

This scene was a bit more difficult to get everything looking the same as the sun was different in a lot of the shots (as I already knew as I was there on the day).

However, despite this challenge I felt that I was able to make all the scenes colourful and bright all while looking the same. The brightness and pop of colour adding to the sense of hope this scene brings for Sally.

Who is this handsome lad?

(Me, the answer is me)

Scene 6 (Stalking scene)

jlhouston — 2024-05-07 11:45:32 UTC

Scene 6 had similar problems to Scene 5 with some sunny shots and some cloudy shots.

There wasn't too much that could be done with the volatile weather but I tried to make all the shots look the same as much as I could.

Scene 7 (Bridge scene)

jlhouston — 2024-05-07 11:49:06 UTC

Again it was similar to Scene 5 and 6 with different levels of sunlight between shots.

Also some shots of Jeff were weirdly warm compared to shots of Wayne so those need correcting.
