Brief Provide grade, audio mix and online for the John Lennon drama.
How it was done Ross Baker, using FilmMaster, gave the show a black-andwhite look that simulated the silver halide effect of Ilford stock. For colour elements, he made it contemporary with a twist towards the modern style of lifted blacks and slightly creamy whites.
Online editor Alan Jones ‘evened out’ archive footage to create a consistent appearance that helped the archive look like it all came from the same period. He also reduced the luminance and slightly defocused the captions to give them a “period feel” and make them look like they are part of the archive.
Watch it 23 June on BBC4
