My grade feels slightly inconsistent -- need advice
This is a football short I shot and edited last week. One of the main things I always struggle with in color is making a consistent look that actually carries through the entire film. I grade so long by the end I can no longer trust my eyes.
I'm going for a film emulation look here -- grainy, soft, imperfect, gritty. I'm using davinci resolve and am using a Kodak 2383 lut + film look creator, relation, grain, glow etc.
It feels like I can never find a good balance of contrast and saturation.
The shots I have the biggest issue with right now are the black and wight weight room ones toward's the end (they feel too washed out) , and the beginning slow motion ones with the lineman in front of the sun (too much contrast, looks too much like content and not film).
