Lately I have been looking at films in a different light. Literally. Colour is a very important element to telling your story in film. But now I see varying changes in colour tones from shot to shot in most films and it is the usually due to the mastery of a colourist- the person who deliberately manipulates the colour of every single shot in a particular film.
Now we have complete control of this color grading process in the post production stage of the filmmaking process. And hollywood seems to have taken full advantage of this. I have been training my eye for digital colour remastering of shots in all the television shows and films I watch and I hardly see a recently film shot for the silver screen or for tv that has not been colour graded. The reason? Colour quickly conveys the mood you want the audience to feel within a particular story line. Simple.
