HARD saison 3 – Canal + FR

tv series

CINEMATOGRAPHER: Bruno Degrave

DIRECTOR: Mélissa Drigeard /Laurent Dussaux

As this was the 3rd season, and I did not do the first or second one, I did my best to stay within the established style of the series.
I kept the diffused highlights , as used in other seasons but slightly less pronounced.
Framing wise , we worked a lot handheld or using an airfloater to keep the frame alive.
In terms of lighting , I kept things sober, while keeping the idea that I did not want it to be too sophisticated or too flat .. .. so I to tried light depending on the needs of the scene .. sometimes bright and beautiful , sometimes sad and flatter .
In grading we slightly desaturated the image, but oversaturated the greens and blues , which are the colors that the set design and styling had used a lot.
