Colour Correction and Filters

After getting very close to the end of film, we had one last step we needed to take. We want to keep the institutions in colour but the rest of the film into black and white - traditional and conventional film noir style. We think it'll look much better in black and white. The city of London will look stylish, and monochrome tones have revolutionised to become contemporary once again. The high key and low key lighting contrasts will be much more distinct with a black and white overlay and the film noir conventions such as silhouettes will be much stronger.
Below shows the various filters we experimented with just to see what other possibilities we could use. We finalised the decision to go with the black and white overlay.
Teal & Orange / Colour Correction adjustments / Cold Steel / Strife / B&W / Dream / Numerik / Exposure/Contrast settings / Combat.

Cold Steel, Black and White and Combat are my personal favourites. Whilst Numerik doesn't go with our theme and Dream is too bright and over exposed for our shot types.
