Can we have another shitty hollywood color grading thread? top is original bottom is fixd
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbixTssaadc
>>65123241
Top looks better and it fits the theme of the film better.
Sorry, but there are uses for blue gradient filter in film.
>>65123241
stop the grading threads.
it's becoming a meme 2bh.
>it's another "/tv/ doesn't understand color grading but thinks it does" thread
The top is better for that scene.
>>65123348
This, even looking at it gives the impression of coldness
>>65123315
>looks great with the muted neutral tones
>suddenly orange
>>65123241
Bad taste
>>65123241
i wouldn't say top looks bad but the one below looks much more pleasing
that color filtering is pretty much universaly bad for action sequences
>top
>its cold and dark
>bottom
>comfy
yea its a complete and total mystery why films would use visual cues to indicate things to the audience.
>>65123456
Have to agree, the bleak colours fits well for me for a dystopian future
>>65123241
It's been proven light blue and orange are attractive to peoples eyes. Which is why all superhero movies essentially have a blue filter over them with a bright orange sun rise/sun set.
These shots are always out of context. You need to show the rest of the movie. You'll see that these "overly-filtered" shots are consistent with the rest of the movie.
>>65123660
>hurr durr its blue that means its cold because everybody knows in real life cold weather = blue filter over everything.
>>65123666
Also that's why the old ones looks so great
>>65123456
You realize why they did the heavy orange when you see some of the un-graded scenes where all the digital splicing stands out even more than it already did, looking completely terrible.
Exclusively practical effects (read: the original mad maxes) don't need extensive color grading because, holy shit, shit is actually real and actually in the same place as all the shit on screen, subject to the same lighting, thus it doesn't need a filter to make everything look similar.

>>65123697
Except in batman begins pretty much only the mountain scenes have such a blatant color filter.
>>65123731
>look outside
>its bright and sunny
>walk outside
>its fucking freezing
>look outside
>its dim and overcast
>I already know its cold so I prepare accordingly
Of course they could just pander to their current demographics and have a little "weather" icon on the screen at all times to tell us that is is, in fact, cold. And make sure the characters check their phones to find out things like "is it cold."
>>65123731
it's kinda obvious, mr. reddit.
see: >>65123765
>>65123731
It's supposed to give you a feel.
>>65123737
Then you know you can color grade those specific things to make them blend in more rather than slapping orange all over everything. In all honesty if you're going to color grade it that much just go balls deep and make the whole movie monochromatic orange.
Colours are used to empahsise something, like in OP's example, coldness.
The grey washed out one that was in Edge of Tomorrow (an example used in an earlier thread), was to emphasise the lack of hope, and general bleakness of the situation.
A better example of this second example is Saving Private Ryan. It would be odd if they were all looking natural with red rosy cheeks.
Is it the way things work in real life? No, but movies aren't real life, so deal with it.
No one here has any clue as to how actual professional color grading works.
>>65123850
That's basically what they did in fury road, though.
Everything is hyper orange because basically everything in a shot came from different lighting source, so instead of trying to match everything, they just went full orange. Mostly because they'd have so many people working on the separate digital effects they needed some sort of per-arranged color grading scheme in order to keep the color grading from just being random.
>>65123903
tell me
>>65123899
Not to mention this technique of signaling emotions of feelings through color dates back all the way to the fucking 20s.
Redditors here think this is some new thing.
>>65123903
Just because you don't, doesn't mean no one else does.
>>65123765
>blue is a cool color so that means it looks good to smother it in blue because it's a winter scene.
>nevermind the fact that it kills the contrast and makes everyone look like corpses
>I literally just learned what color temperature is but I'm going to link you to it and pretend you don't understand.
>>65123970
Who does? I haven't seen them here yet.
Anti color grading fags getting BTFO
>>65123456
George wanted the movie to look "colorful" to stand out against other post-apocalyptic movies
>>65123315
i think in this particular case the graded colors add atmosphere to the movie. the people look more dehydrated and tanned from the sun. the orange/blue contrast gives it a nice fata morgana feel.
>>65123985
>and makes everyone look like corpses
the entire purpose of that scene was they were pushing themselves to the very limits of human endurance, so they should look like walking corpses.
>>65123941
they didn't though, they made it all orange and teal. Which clash in a really awful-looking way. The only scenes in the movie that were actually monochromatic were the night scenes.
>>65123241
Top is better desu familee.
Bruce is in a major state of depression and self loathing at the time. The blue color grading reflects that. Also the same reason that the narrows are a gross yellow, green and black to represent the dingy, seedy, underworld there.
It's pottery nigga.
>>65124011
And looked like shit.
Trying something different doesn't means it's gonna look good.
>>65124039
>orange and blue
god fucking damnit why do meme gods always force this shit into creation
ITT: OP gets BTFO
>>65124041
> to the very limits of human endurance, so they should look like walking corpses.
do you actually think about what you type before you type it?
>>65124048
>orange and teal. Which clash
So this is an autism thing.
I mean, I should've known before now.
>>65124055
Yeah I agree, that's why I put quotes around "colorful" because he essentially diluted the entire film to 2 colors with his filtering
The Grey was edited in a major grey filter to represent hopelessness and the neutrality/indifference of God in regards to their situation.
Autists like OP don't understand the pottery of visual cues....
>>65124105
No it's not an autism thing it just looks terrible. Do you honesty look at this and not want to gouge your eyes out?
Color correction is like Jill Bogdanowicz.
I can't tell if she's hot or ugly.
>>65124067
wat
Friendly reminder George Miller prefers Fury Road in black and white
>>65124149
Yeah, compare that to the hundreds of blockbuster shit that have been arbitrarily adding a teal and orange filter to films since the beginning of this century. Color grading has its uses but most of the time it's abused by studio execs as a cheap way to make the films look "good"
>>65124160
>get called out on autism
>post something more autistic as a response
...
>>65123690
it becomes less and less attractive when you notice that every fucking movie does it
>>65124160
Ugh, jeez, orange and blue, unnatural much? Here's the superior natural color version ;)
>>65124273
you're trying to be sarcastic but I genuinely find this more appealing to look at
>>65124149
>Real life is neutral tones
>Real life doesn't represent " hopelessness and the neutrality/indifference of God in regards to their situation"
>>65124048
>reality clashes in a really awful looking way

not really much they could do there
>>65124273

Mann is a hack
Kingdom of heaven is a good example where the colour filter bums me out. Of course they tried to make the scenes in France more cold looking, but it all felt a bit forced for me.

didn't this get fixed on later Bluray releases? I've always wondered and never bought it since I haven't heard a definitive answer.

what software are you using?
>>65123241
while i agree with OP that grading is often misused, in the dark knight series, its used mostly appropriately.
that top shot is perfectly fine.
>>65123737
Fury Road used orange because the original took place in an already orange Austrailia, how ever fury road had to be filmed in the african deserts so everything would have looked like eye straining blaze white and tan.
the orange had little to do with effects (all though new movies remove orange which HURTS the cgi effects) it had more to do with orange being an eye please color. You can stare at orange all day and not hrt your eyes because the sun naturally gives of orange and yellow coloring to nature.
hell look at a forest every now and then, loaded with yellow tints within those greens.
>>65124857

>>65124273
yeah that one cherry picked shot, then ook at the rest of the film in a mostly white sand desert trying to stare at a GIANT GOD DAMN LIGHT BULB OF A SCREEN!!!
they made it orange to reflect austrailia and also because the actual desert they filmed in was too damn bright.
>>65124384
>>65124384
well now you're grding it the opposite way, skin has natural oranges and yellows in it.
>>65125481
Dark and desaturated to the point the colors mesh into each other. Had to amp the fuck out of vibrance (which tells how different X hue is from Y hue), only then I could color-calibrate it a bit. Then bring vibrance back down a bit.
>>65125270
thank you, anon - that fucking orange hue really bugged the fuck out of me - and i blamed australia and it's shitty outback! While all along it was shitty fucking filters!!! FUCK YOU HOLLYWOOD!
>>65125270
the colro is corrected to a degreebut sicne grading is removal it isnt perfect.
the actual b rolls show that desert looking like a fucking eye killer of a blaze white sand box.
God, I fucking hate it when today's hollywood blockbusters fuck with the image, why can't they just keep it pure and untouched like they did back in the day? The filmmakers of old would NEVER do something like that!
>>65125651
Looks worse than the original. Doesn't mean the original looks great, this just looks worse.
Complaining about color filters is the stupidest thing ever
The reason why the top one is black and white is because it is in the past.
HELLO, REDDIT!
>>65125644
Stills are deceiving. In actual motion you can't have bright colors it will bleed into shit. That's why the Millers original on top is darker yet in motion looks over saturated.

>>65124258
I think it's just that most of the movies that use that color scheme happen to suck, it's a high energy palette that fits well with generic action movies so naturally they're gonna use it the most, so it just looks bad by association more than anything.

that white is gonna look a bit rust colored.
>>65125862

Color correction is an integral part of filmmaking. These threads are stupid.
>>65126567
Warm fronts bring in clouds in the first place, clouds actually insulate further, sunlight means jack shit in winter because that's how season tend to work, warmed days bring more humidity as well meaning precipitation like snow, etc. If you get past -15C or so it becomes generally too cold to snow, the air will be too dry.
On days when it's -40C it's guaranteed to have not a cloud in the sky, whereas it'll snow the most it'll be somewhere -10C or warmer.

>They actually used colour filters back then to set a mood
It wasn't so much to set a mood, but to represent the situation. Blue tint means it's night, since shooting at night was still complicated in those times. Yellow would have been used for day scenes, green for mystery, and red for situations with fire. You only had those basic tints available, since the labs couldn't just tint in dozens of colors according to every filmmakers whim, so there wasn't really that much mood to set.

Blackhat is an experimental film. This point may seem obvious, but in many ways this experimentation is at the heart of Mann's attempt to capture his idea of reality primarily through a heightened visual expression and attention to atmospheric detail rather than through only narrative information or psychological verisimilitude.
It seems as if every moment wrestles against the modern viewer’s hunger for narrative clarity and character identification.
But does that mean it’s a bad movie? Or does that mean an audience weaned on information-focused TV shows and movies is trying to force the viewing habits they’re comfortable with onto an experimental movie that challenges them?
It begs a grandiose question: What is cinema?
What are movies? Well, at the most basic level, cinema is audiovisual art. And we should always keep in mind that stories and characters are not the only filmic way to explore the human condition – just the most common.
Film is not about storytelling or character development; these are merely tools, ways for a filmmaker to express his or her vision and ideas, just like visuals, music, setting, dialogue, editing, or any other part of the medium.
A film’s story should not be what we, as viewers, focus on any more than we should only focus on an actor’s performance or a composer’s score. We should focus on the whole package, analyze what that package means and says, examine its components, and und'r-stand it on its own terms.

>Color correction is an integral part of filmmaking.
So is cinematography, etc, but many still get that wrong. And "correction" is hardly an appropriate word when they go overboard and entirely change the palette, mood, and even realistic lighting in the scene. Your post is stupid.
>>65126863
wow shut up dude
>>65126739
Color correction is a tool for filmmaking, and just like any other tool, overusing it can have a negative result.
>>65126022
try harder.
>>65126739
next /tv/ is going to be shitting on directors who use wide angle shots or curved lenses. remember, this is cinema not art!

>A filter is okay sometimes, but they went full retarded this time.
They actually did it for a reason, it was a response to too many people in the audiences unable to recognize which scenes from the first Matrix took place in the real world and which took place in the virtual world. So Wachowskis heavily tinted in-matrix sequences green and real-life sequences blue. It actually has purpose.
They also retroactively added this kind of grading to the first Matrix's late dvd and blu-ray release.
>>65127112
that actually looks fucking great like technicolor; imagine if they actually went in that direction, a tongue in cheeks 1950's nod to superman, still had viable action but with a 1950's mentality and aesthetics

>people who think hollywood color timers just slap a colored tint on the picture
Just because it looks like shit half the time doesn't mean they didn't put the work in. You can call hollywood color grading misguided but rarely is it lazy.
You want to see some shit color grading look at mid budget movies and TV shows, they just crush the shit out of the colors to make it look "punchy" and "vibrant" while degrading the overall image quality. Pay attention to the blue tones in most mid budget action flicks and you'll see what I mean, they always crank those blues way the fuck up with no regard for context or blending.
>>65127112
Looks like 90's.
i believe its supposed to be more accurate to the original film but that recent dollars trillogy transfer with the overbearing intense yellow filter over everything is gross.
>>65127144
No, that's why he said "A BIT" rust colored, to mean it tends more to reflect the orange than the pink of the skin
>>65126851
every criticism you have of color grading still applies. its a stylistic choice to only use certain colors and omit ones that break up the unity.. the goal is not to be realistic, it is to unite figures in the foreground with the background so they are not self-sufficient entities. you are crying like a baby because these images are not realistic. and what's not complex or nuanced about film color grading? there are endless possibilities.

But this is not in the theatrical edition blu-ray right? Cause that is the only version I like.
>>65123690
Still sucks that movies look so fuckin uniform these days. Seriously – how many "mainstreamish" directors are there that actually have the balls to have a movie look "different" in that they just choose their own color scheme. Christopher Nolan might be one. Otherwise I can only think of people like wes Anderson in that regard and he's "arthousy".
But heck, blue-and-orange and turquoise-and-ochre have become so fuckin boring in the last ten years or so.

You know why this board is so shit ? Not only because of the 'tards which you answer, but because peoples like you respond to other 'tards even when it is clear that they have no idea what they are talking and arent willing to know their wrongs, they don't contribute to anything in a conversation, and then they are the only who responds to well construct criticism

not me, but it's our current common perception of how those works of art should be regardless of their original look. we also prefer greek statues to be colorless, if somebody restored them to their original colors we would think they look like awful kitsch.

Welcome to /v/eddit, we've entirely inherited their board culture and their disgust of ENBs and post-processing effects for "pure video game graphics".
