Week 6: Post-Production Light Fixing in Premiere Pro #3

COLOR GRADE FOR THE CONVERSATIONAL HALLWAY SCENE

For the walking scene in the outside hall, we wanted to emphasize the building's structure by centering the stairway in the frame.

The tracking shot maintained focus on the characters’ movements, highlighting the scene’s quality. The intentionally dim lighting contributed to the film’s overall dark aesthetic, maintaining the ominous atmosphere we made earlier. This choice added continuity and reinforced the thriller tone.

The film starts with an aerial shot over a body of water, most likely the Mediterranean sea, slowly descending to reveal the Roman navy approaching the shores of the African country. The high angle shot emphasizes the size of the navy compared to the small sized city they are attacking. As the scene moves on, close-up's of the General are used to capture his demanding, powerful position. The use of handheld camera shots during battle fights add a sense of chaos and defeat towards the small African city. The camera focuses and tracks some of the Roman weapons such as the canon to show the evolved Roman army fighting a small city.  Rapid cross-cutting between the Romans and the African fighters adds tension and makes their clashes more in...
