film look
hey guys
If you need to color correct a movie and unify all the shots and give them all the same felling, such as blue look for the whole movie. what would you do first? color correct each and every shot unify them without the blue look or add the effect and then unify all the shots?
does the magic bullet affect the movement of a movie to give it a film feeling or does it just affect the colors? what do I do in order to make the movie have a feeling of a film?thanks

I jump in on the Magic Bullet side.
I think Magic Bullet Looks works best when you apply it to the entire movie or at least to an entire scene. So you would want all the clips in the movie or scene to be balanced to one another, then you would apply the film effect. If you want to make your footage 24P MB has a new program called Frames that will do this.
But key is to have a unified look (that does not mean that all the shots are exactly the same but similar shoots with the scene are balanced to one another.

thanks a lot guys for your replies, my problem is the shots that that were shot with the effect! that makes it hard! that’s why i wasn’t sure what comes first! same scene, some with the effect already some without!

Honestly, I think this is achieved mainly in camera, and then advanced in post.
Lighting, composition and camera settings will get you waaaay farther than anything you can do in post alone.
To be fair, though, you can do quite a lot in post, especially in unifying and smoothing out the overall look of a film. And if you have the time & expertise (or time & money to hire the expertise), you can certainly change the look of a scene or film.
