Prime Focus achieves VFX for Murder 2 : Bollywood News

Digital Intermediate

The DI process of a film enhances the colour and makes each frame flow rhythmically. The film was shot completely on Arris ALEXA digital camera, with which many sequences in the film was shot using available light on set. The DI team used custom made look up tables better known as LUTs that is basically, a colouring facet of the digital intermediate process. This creates a system that permits, more latitude and details particularly in the shadows and highlights regions of the film which ensures better picture quality. The film was either shot early in the morning or early in the evening, Rohan Desai was the DI colorist who worked on these sequences to give it a unique, rich golden-brown look. The colour schemes of the sequences were altered according to the intensity of the sensation in the situations. The house of the antagonist, Dheeraj Pandey and the police station was treated differently with the police station scene set with a greyish blue tone to it, while the antagonists house was given a grungy brown tone to it to bring out the strangeness and the dreadfulness. Although the locations called for a darker grungier look, the team maintained a glossiness that would not alienate the mainstream viewers.
