Thing is common. Producer want common thing. Uncommon thing risk to Producer profits.

nothing. you just happen to watch less colorful movies. probably the reason being so you can cry about it on internet

>>211791480 (OP)
Color grading is a powerful tool in audiovisual storytelling. Nobody cares about "real" colors except autists. Most people enjoy the experience when colors are used to communicate moments and depth of setting. A desert being yellow/orange communicates the arid hot conditions. A temperate setting being blue communicates that it's cold and dark. This immerses the dialogue and action of a scene in its environment and adds much more depth than "real" colors. You can't feel the environment when watching a movie, so color grading helps maintain that grounded context throughout a scene. Of course many anons don't get this because they just want to meme on it, but MUCH smarter people than you already thought about this and concluded that color grading is good, and audiences agree. You're just playing the part of the social outcast, contrarianism for its own sake.

Doesn't BluRay make everything a dark depressing green or some shit? Can't they make it NoColorFilterRay? Why does it have to be blue?

I remember someone posting the original LotR coloring, the difference was baffling.

Colour wasn't invented yet!

>>211792016
Y2K movies like "Traffic" and "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" look like they were using those nasty preset color profiles on a consumer digital video camera. Those were actually on film. Now we have people attempting to recreate these ugly films through digital plugins. They have literally 3-6 different digital cameras running at all times and smash it all together in post. It isn't cohesive and it's not even being filmed with an intentional finished look in mind. That is, the lighting, costumes, equipment, etc. should be specific and optimized. Instead, it's kept generic, and at the last second it's decided in a board room how it should look and the editors slop it together.

It’s more to do with how film development is so compartmentalized everything from set work to makeup to effects will have different palettes so color grading prevents different effects from standing out due to mismatched palettes.

>Director Ridley Scott has revealed that he always uses at least four cameras while making movies and says his technique paid off for his latest historical epic, Napoleon.
>Scott likes to work with as many as 11 cameras; something not all cinematographers are pleased about with some claiming that it compromises lighting.
>“My method is to always work with a minimum of four cameras,” Scott tells IndieWire’s Filmmaker Toolkit podcast. “It releases and frees up the actors. If mistakes occur, I never cut. I will keep running because a fortunate mistake can evolve into something magic.”
>Scott says the multi-camera system also allow scenes to be shot a lot faster, “With four cameras every day, it’s four times faster. A scene scheduled to last all day will be finished at 11:00.”

Scott is shipping out the slop! The editors will slap a blue filter on it and fix everything later. Scott wants to go home!

>>211798693
>Barry Lyndon, Lawrence of Arabia
Bland.

>>211798693
It all started with Terminator 2. Really. Cameron put a slight blue filter over many scenes (but not all) and ever since then directors have wanted to copy him and one-up him. Then blue became associated with seriousness versus light-hearted fare, so now directors feel that they can out-grim-dark each other by washing out as much color as possible because color equals joy.

>>211791593
I fixed the color in that napoleon screenshot for funsies look now its the same movie

>>211798619
I know who the cinematographer is, I actually really enjoyed what he did with The Batman (if you upped the contrast a few notches) so I get a feeling that this is a wholly Villeneuve shot. Worst thing is that Villeneuve probably meant it as some homage to Lawrence of Arabia and was probably jerking himself of silly due to his own brilliance.

>>211798693
Shooting on film requires intention and planning. You are creating a physical object. It's very expensive. Shooting digital requires no intention and planning. You can, using the Riley Scott method, have as many cameras as you would like. You are just writing bits on an SSD. Nobody has to physically manipulate miles of film to edit it. You scrub through digital files. You can mix and match to your hearts content. You can manipulate the digital files to your hearts content. You can add digital effects in post. This leeway means the film can be created after the fact, by people who are primarily concerned with return on investment, focus group feedback and advertising metrics.

this is such an exhausted gimmick that I immediately roll my eyes every time I see it. There's no problem with color being used to convey, but at least do something original. Deserts aren't even that yellow or orange, they're usually very soft with muted colors. A lot of tans and soft browns.

Halo Reach used heavy purple tones for the night sections and it not only looks amazing, but it gives it a unique identity.

>The best fantasy is written in the language of dreams. It is alive as dreams are alive, more real than real … for a moment at least … that long magic moment before we wake.

Fantasy tastes of habaneros and honey, cinnamon and cloves, rare red meat and wines as sweet as summer. Reality is beans and tofu, and ashes at the end. Reality is the strip malls of Burbank, the smokestacks of Cleveland, a parking garage in Newark. Fantasy is the towers of Minas Tirith, the ancient stones of Gormenghast, the halls of Camelot.

I think these colors are just unnatural. People's eyes are attuned to natural colorscapes and nature does tend to be a bit hazy and unsaturated. That is, the color gamut for natural objects is narrower than the gamut possible with RGB video. So nature scenes that are too sharp and saturated seem somewhat gaudy or eerie

I have seen Lawrence of Arabia one time, ten years ago, half paying attention while scrolling on my phone, and the visuals were so striking that no color-grading millennial faggotry can usurp the beauty of the original.

Tl;dr for zoomers: barely glancing at natural beauty is better than staring at jew shit.

Obviously that's wrong. Specifications for colors would be settled in the contract with all those departments. Color grading is a design choice, not some convenience.

People think the bottom is more realistic when in actuality, soldiers wore very bright colours to battle until WWI. Even in WWI, the French stubbornly clung to their blue uniform.

how do people like ridley and cameron get so bad over the years? it cant just be dementia and hubris, right? maybe they just dont care anymore and let their companies do this shit and they just okay it? that true lies ai upscale is an affront to cinema. and that se7en release a few months ago. awful

these are the "people" who whine about filters

>>211791480 (OP)
today movies are graded in expensive HDR monitors with very high luminance peaks of +1500 or 2000 nits, but your average HDR screen is between 200 and 500 nits
since there's no standardized top brightness, your monitor applies the wrong gamma curve and you get an image that is darker and duller than expected
ie a white point that is supposed to be 2000 nits bright on a 100 nits tv will be displayed at 100 nits; and white point that is supposed to be 500 nits bright will be displayed at 25

What happened to lighting in movies?
What happened to plot in movies?
What happened to actors in movies?
What happened to the audience of movies?
What happened to capeshit movies?
What happened to original movies?
What happened to old movie directors?

>A desert being yellow/orange communicates the arid hot conditions
No film set in a desert has ever conveyed heat better than Lawrence of Arabia.
And that was anything but a yellow-orange film.
Defending an ugly cliche when literally the best film to ever do it, demonstrated extremely well how to convey heat and drought without murdering the color palette, is just illiteracy of the medium.

>>211792805
Its pretty, but it drags like a dog with worms and feels like it ends and restarts 3-4 times over the run.
Lawrence is a weird little queer.

Its functional for animation, like a disney villain song for instance.. alright in live action if used sparingly with restraint. In most cases they just put a shit filter on for the whole film.

>>211791593
Is that the British HQ on the top? Wish they added more flags so we knew

>>211806113

Top movie still already had a cold color palette, though much more subtle.
Colors you'd associate with ''warm'' can actually be cool depending on various nuances, which is the case on top pic. bottom movie still cranked it up to 11 for retards.

>>211792016
you're likely underage or, even worse, a film school student. the color grading in the OP is not a communicative device and instead is just the director trying to find one which harmonizes with the sad lack of creativity or vision in his film. it's like a teenage goth boy wanting to paint his room black so that it matches "his soul". nobody takes it seriously, everyone knows he secretly wishes it could be a nicer color, and years later he'll admit it was a silly choice that wasted everyone's time.

i'm sure you extol the value of music in a picture as well, provided the music is a one-note synth pad that conveys absolutely no sense of rhythm, melody, or inspiration.

>>211814451
>it isn't set on Earth
earth has plenty of phenomena that can drastically change the color. The sky sometimes turns green during tornados. Clouds and light pollution can create really cool/seemingly inexplicable effects.

Hell, I was lucky enough to see aurora borealis with a naked eye in southern washington. That might has well have been a miracle for how amazing it was.

It isn't really a valid excuse in my opinion.

What this tells me is movies back then were filmed with the idea that they would be also shown in greyscale since colour was slowly becoming mainstream and so worked with contrast so the image would be clear in either format.

>>211830469
I wouldn't say they unanimously are. The reason why they largely look the way they do is due to the general aesthetic direction of our culture, which is highly engaged in digitization and, frankly, alienation. There's production aspects too of course that are the consequence of the introduction of new technology.

>>211832486

>>211839272
Okay. Good. At least you're honest. Not that being a self-hating brown person isn't cringe but there's a slight chance you're East Asian, in which case I'm disappointed you're missing the gist here. Zendaya, Paul being a fraud, their mixed race offspring... none of that is what's this is about.

You're hung up on the wrong thing. Brown people do not see themselves as some brown fetish kink in some Hollywood slop propaganda. Again you dont seem to understand mutts don't inspire. You probably dont understand why something as simple as Dragonball Z is more inspirational and uplifting to the soul.

>>211840247
You're hung up on the wrong thing. If you watch the YouTube clips there's very little Zendaya in them. And no suggestion of her being Paul's concubine.

>>211826686
That's because he's trying to add back in information that was taken out of the image by the original colour-grading. It's a destructive process. To really see the colours he's trying to convey, you would need the original footage before it was graded yellow, because the process is destructive.

>>211792683

I remember everyone in the theater jumped when that happened!!!FACT!!!
