The Kitchen

Brief Provide grade, online and audio mix for a doc series following eight households in their kitchens.
How it was done The show was shot in an intimate but filmic style with a shallow depth of field on a Sony F55 with Prime lenses. Using Baselight, Danny Wood provided different grades for each family, accentuating the high energy of some or downplaying the muted nature of others, while still keeping a flow to the programme. With contrast curves, he looked to bring out as much as possible of the texture and detail in the faces of the characters. The show’s warmth guided the grade and although it is a depiction of reality, the style of shooting pushed it in a more cinematic direction. Andrew Mitchell completed the online, while Matt Skilton mixed the audio.
