My first step was actually shooting in color, as I&#8217;ve learned that it allows for more options when finding that black and white look you want. By shooting in color, you can <em>raise<\/em> the levels or <em>decrease<\/em> the levels of certain colors, and it&#8217;ll affect the final look of the black-and-white footage. If you raise the red levels in post, it&#8217;ll lessen the whites \u2014 or daylight \u2014 in your shots. This, in turn, provides you with a nice, darker contrast. To visually explain this, here we have this landscape in color.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_126576\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/color-sheep.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-126576\" class=\"wp-image-126576 size-full\" title=\"Recreating &quot;The Lighthouse&quot; Scene in Color\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/color-sheep.jpg\" alt=\"Recreating &quot;The Lighthouse&quot; Scene in Color\" width=\"755\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/color-sheep.jpg 755w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/color-sheep.jpg?resize=300,199 300w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/color-sheep.jpg?resize=277,183 277w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/color-sheep.jpg?resize=359,238 359w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/color-sheep.jpg?resize=543,360 543w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/color-sheep.jpg?resize=560,371 560w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/color-sheep.jpg?resize=150,99 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-126576\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Landscape in color.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Now, here it is with the saturation taken out.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_126577\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/black-and-white-sheep.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-126577\" class=\"wp-image-126577 size-large\" title=\"Recreating &quot;The Lighthouse&quot; Scene in Black-and-White\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/black-and-white-sheep.jpg?w=755\" alt=\"Recreating &quot;The Lighthouse&quot; Scene in Black-and-White\" width=\"755\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/black-and-white-sheep.jpg 755w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/black-and-white-sheep.jpg?resize=300,199 300w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/black-and-white-sheep.jpg?resize=277,183 277w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/black-and-white-sheep.jpg?resize=359,238 359w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/black-and-white-sheep.jpg?resize=543,360 543w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/black-and-white-sheep.jpg?resize=560,371 560w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/black-and-white-sheep.jpg?resize=150,99 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-126577\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Saturation taken out.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the look if we raised the red levels in the footage.

The natural flicker and glow gave the footage a beautiful feel, matching the time period extremely well. The LED camping lamp was nice, and it actually matched nicely with the film, mostly due to the fact that their lamp used an LED bulb. But, it was also harsher than the lantern and wasn&#8217;t as aesthetically pleasing.<\/p>\n<p>The footage with our actors washed in the red light was somewhat disastrous. When I tried to desaturate the footage, it took on a horrible amount of noise that wasn&#8217;t originally in the footage. I was able to get a clean image by simply taking out the red color, which obviously defeats the entire reason behind washing them in the colored light. Actually, if anyone knows why desaturating the red colored footage causes the massive amount of noise, I&#8217;d love to hear the answer. Here&#8217;s to hoping <em>The Lighthouse <\/em>comes home with an Oscar for cinematography, since what they accomplished is absolutely incredible.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em>Cover image via <a
