DO'B/JB/EH: Editing Reflection 14/01/2016

We started to grade some of the footage in the tunnel scene, with these shots needing the most work done to them due to the unsatisfactory levels of light and it needing the addition of more blue colour and less saturation. In lumetri colour in Premiere Pro CC 2015 I colour graded the walking down steps, walking down tunnel and opening eye shots with the guidance of Dylan and Jon, and most notably increased the contrast, increased shadows, lowered highlight brightness levels and finally added a blue tint which is iconic of horror.
In the opening eye shot, I encountered the problem of the background being far too bright than the face, and after making the grade that we required for that section, the background had to be separately changed as to match the darker background in the previous shot, otherwise the continuity would not be present due to the lighting changing. To achieve this John used Adobe AfterEffects CC 2015 and motion tracked the background from the face and then selected only that area to separately be colour graded with a darker brightness levels.
