For the colour palette I like the earthy colour grade that
the Loydes Bank Advert has (with the shire horses ploughing the field). The images have a brownish hint to them, a similar grading has been
applied to Ripperstreet and Saving Private Ryan, although the latter also has a
(too) washed appearance that I don’t like or want.
I think the browny hint aids the
concept of ageing the images to the audience. Maybe this is due to the
familiarity of vintage sepia toned photographs.

| Nice Saving Private Ryan image but it looks washed out. |
Now that the reconstruction 16mm film is back from the laboratory, we can see that all the gallows shots have come back damaged with red blushes and scorched with light leaks.
The blush runs over most of the exterior shots.

A suggested solution was to remove the colour and give it a sepia tone.
The monochrome image
actually works really well making the film stock look vintage. The
problem now will be how do we mucky up
the good footage.
A soft sepia suits me and it will remain in keeping with the original
brown tones of the colour grade.

| It is an improvement. |
The light leak shows at the left hand corners of
the gate aperture.
