Hello,
I am trying to understand how this phenomenon can occur, In the movie '' Good Time '' of the Safdie brothers, I have noticed several times that the highlights that flare restore the source, not by a glow but by drawing of it. In the case of the example number 1 we see that the text in the window is present as a flare but that, it does not make a ring / point in flare but a reproduction of lettering neons. In example 2 the flare corresponds to the bulb pattern of the carousel.
Can someone explain to me if this effect is due to a phenomenon of the used optics, a lens filter effect, or post-production?
I am French mother tongue I hope that I managed to make myself understood.
I thank you in advance.
