Brief Complete the grade on the 6 x 60-minute series of the US franchise crime drama, which follows the lives of a team of police detectives and prosecutors.

How it was done Technicolor senior colourist Dan Coles graded the series using Baselight. Coles said he wanted to create a warm and rich feel for the series while maintaining a naturalistic, filmic quality.

The grading was designed to complement both the on-location and studio scenes, with vignettes and varying amounts of contrast used to emphasise mood.

This included a warm, golden hue for the courtroom scenes and cool blues, greens and cyans for the interview rooms and police station.

Coles also accentuated some of the flare from the sun and artificial light sources to give the series a strong, contemporary look.

Watch it Sundays, 9pm, ITV
