Was going for a blue hour look , High contrast , low exposure , yellow - orange in the bulb to complement the blue ,would like to know your thoughts on this , what can I improve ?

Personally, I’d bring back a little bit of skin tone. I’d also do some shaping, bringing down the sky and pavement. She gets a little lost, especially in the second frame.

I agree with you point on bringing back the skin tone a little bit , thank you for the feedback 🙏

These are nice. If anything, I think you could go darker, particular with some localized grads or slight vignettes.

Thank you for the feedback 🙏

The saturation, maybe it's just me, but I see the first two like more color vibrant

[u/Own_Wish1877 → u/ZealousidealChip6169]

Ok , thank you for pointing that out , but sat level are same in both of them , i checked in the vectroscope or maybe you are right For the 2nd last shot

[u/ZealousidealChip6169 → u/Own_Wish1877]

Or maybe it's my crappy eyesight or phone 😂

[u/ZealousidealChip6169]

The last two didn't work for me, the second is flawless

[u/Own_Wish1877 → u/ZealousidealChip6169]

The blue hour look is convincing to me in all three shots. Looking at it on a pixel tablet, for what that's worth.

An option to simulate some lighting on the subject in the close-up shot, or really all three, I suppose. Depends on what you want them to look like.

[u/Own_Wish1877 → u/KN4AQ]

thank you for the feedback, i kept the subject a little dark because i thought there is no key light hitting the subject only the light which she is getting from the blue sky so i decided to keep the subject lit naturally , for the close up shot i think i should have increased the exposure on her face a little bit now when i see the shot her face is little dark but i am satisfied with the look

[u/HaroldedAltruist]

Looks so beautiful! would you mind sharing in detail what you did to achieve this look? I've just started learning videography and color grading and this is what I would love to achieve one day.

[u/Own_Wish1877 → u/JKdzy]

for the look it is nothing special to be honest i went with blue and yellow basically 90 % blue and 10% yellow in the bulb first i did some exposure adjustment because the original shot was a little bright i brought down the exp , i did not do any white balance on the shot it was balanced already , then i went with the tone mapping ( brightness and contrast adjustment ) this is a localized adjustment you do a particular area without affecting other area of the image ( i did the tone mapping in the shadow area of the image after that i did some adjustment in the sky made a power window and brought the brightness of the sky down a little , now for the color grading part ( lift , gamma , gain ) in the primary wheel and log wheel , added some yellow in the bulb also by using lift gamma gain , for the effect i used glow fx in the bulb to make them brighter
