A fascinating behind the scenes look at the color grading of a feature film.

Subtle adjustments in saturation, contrast, and exposure can dramatically alter the cinematic mood and atmosphere of a scene. We also talk about how this mini masterclass in color can show us how using visual themes can help harness the flow of emotions through a movie.
