‘Film Colour & Cinematography’
This question also has been bothering me and I have not come to a full understanding why…
The question is this, why is that some films have a predominant colour…tho’ atimes it could change in some scenes but they still maintain that same colour…a good example is ‘The Matrix Triology’…the movie maintained a predominant ‘green color’ through out the movie…can someone please answer this…
Also, I’d like to know how digital colours/cinematography is achieved with video…I think I personally will score a pass mark when it comes to manipulating still pix using adobe photoshop but what about movies…let me give an example of what I am tryng to say here…
We all understand that cinematography in motion picture can be described as an art where lights are used to describe emotions or to tell a story…now, I really dont know if what I see in 2days movies are really achieveable in real life except for digital computation…
I’ll give you an example…lets say there is this scene where you have a lil’ homeless child in an alley crying and the period of action is at night, mmph! say 11:15pm…in todays motion pictures such a scene appears totally different from what you’ll see in real life or should I say exaggerated. The shades of black are thick and shadows and reflections are well emphasised and also with sharp colors too. colours with tones of red and yellow are good examples…
can someone please explain how these processes are achieved…

There are plugins for AE & PP available which will help you in giving your movie a certain look.
Take War Movies, for example. They usually aren’t as colorful as movies for kids or comedy stuff.
One of the plugins available and I personally recommend it:
DigiEffects from: http://www.digieffects.com/products.shtml
