Artist’s note:
One of my favourite scenes in the Trilogy – I love the cold, greenish grading in particular and went with a more cold, bluish tungsten-like effect to show that the scene was shot at night, aiming to replicate the moonlight. Most of the shots follow this technique, there are a few, however, that I wanted to experiment with different styles, like the one immediately below I shot with a higher exposure, resulting in more white light. There are a couple more shots below this slideshow in the ‘Alternative shots’ section showcasing different ‘takes’ on the scene. Including a muddy black & white shot, and a grainy film shot.
