Earlier I spoke about the use of colour in film. I should be more specific and talk about colour palettes instead.
A colour palette, is the film colorist's basic guiding factor towards finishing a shot. Is the scene supposed to be dark and ominous? Is it supposed to radiate the golden hues and skin tones associated with a romantic stroll on the beach?
The number one priority for any colorist is the storyline. He is always asking himself how do these nuances in colour tones help to tell the story?
Although I am not a professional colourist using Da Vinci colour grading systems, as an independent producer, I find myself colour grading every single project in After Effects even those than don't require extensive graphics or special effects. The result? More control over my shots and a greater arsenal of tools in film imitation digital kit.
