With the help from my tutor Matt, the colour grading of our film was complete today. All that leaves is to add the sound which will take place in the next few days. The purpose of colour grading the raw film was to create the correct colour of the film but also to apply elements of the Pleasantville effect.
Whilst the dripping blood scene is too dark for the red to be vibrantly saturated, we were able to bring out the red by contrasting the tone and colour of the blood on the canvas. This really makes it stand out and is effective in drawing the audience's eye to it. Another way we added the Pleasantville effect to the film was actually making the protagonist more saturated than the environment around her.
This initially wasn't our plan as we only wanted the blood to be saturated; however it proved to be effective in implying that the protagonist does not belong in the world around her and so she stands out from it literally by being saturated with colour.
