How it was done

Head of grading Vicki Matich said the most important aspect of the grade was to keep everything looking authentic. The archive had to look like archive, so it wasn’t “graded up” to seamlessly integrate with the shot footage.

The aim was to have a contrast between the sequences shot with a Canon C300, which was by nature very filmic, and the often poor-quality archive. Matich was careful not to grade out the atmosphere of the locations; the market scene shot in Cairo had a heavy yellow cast to it, so she pulled it back only enough to recover the skin tones. She used Baselight Blackboard with Baselight 2 plug-in.
