During editing, me and the director were discussing ways to differentiate the chess world from the real world in the film. For context, in the film, while the two players are playing the game, the pieces are in their own war-torn world. The director wanted to make the chess world look dystopian like so it was up to me as the editor to color grade it. As I was looking through Rush's color tab, I saw they had preset filters so I naturally I looked to see if any of them were good. And they were, I was considering a lot of the presets until I saw a filter called SL Matrix. And it made the footage look it was from The Matrix which is one of the classic dystopian movies. I showed it to the director and she liked it so it looked like were sticking with it. After consulting the cinematographer, we concluded the Matrix filter was too dark. So, I adjusted the exposure, tint, temperature, saturation, shadows and vibrance to brighten the image.
