Above shows the very simple set up I used: the Black Magic Pocket Cinema Camera on a tripod. I didn't manage to find a red hood in time, so I substituted with an apple and lipstick for the shot. This was the only footage from the whole shoot which came out as intended:
This is how the footage looked before being taken into any editing software:
I decided to create the effect in After Effects as it seemed like a fairly simple process, which required me to duplicate the footage and alter both layers individually. As the leaves were orange, I had to rotoscope the apple to ensure that the background became desaturated.
After altering the brightness and contrast of the shot, I altered the hue of the apple and lips in an attempt to make them more noticeably red. This works fairly well and gave me an understanding of how to create the effect, but would look a lot more striking if I had used red clothing to become the focus point.
