Synopsis: Documentary series tracing the different routes
existing in the Iberian peninsula in the pilgrimage towards
Santiago de Compostela.
Notes on the Cinematography: Our aim was to create
a sense of timelessness in the different routes by modifying
the colour until the image achieved tones that resembled
a photographic emulsion. The saturated tones habitual
in video formats were lost, so the image seemed to belong
to an unidentifiable era. Bringing the tonality of video
to those of photographic emulsion implies configuring
the camera to match their intrinsic deviations, making
it strictly necessary to colour grade the footage in
order to achieve the desired effect. In general, the
original footage has a slight magenta dominance. On
the other hand, we used the gamma F curve modifying
the Black Gamma and the Knee, achieving a high degree
of detail in high lights and shadows ( around 7 F-stops
for the 790 and more than 9 for the F900 with a relative
ASA of 400 for the first one and 250 for the second
one). In this case the image needs colour grading the
gamma for adequate viewing, since the original image
is very soft. We have also modified the Detail Level
and the crispening. This photographic treatment has
been reinforced by framing that strives to achieve an
inconspicuous feel for the camera's presence. |
