So just some quick notes about film, color and theory. Actually I know the basic of color using and what they pretend to be. But even if I knew, I also did spent some time on reading it again and see what other peoples thoughts about it. Even since I started to be a VFX artist, or I can say when I'm into all these lights color and super effects, I started to pay attention on every photo's, films and commercials.
For me I like to watch it over and over again when I see something interesting. Actually I pay more attention to the stuff in background that's not in focus, because I'm trying to find what they did here and there, what's seems wrong and correct. You're attention, you're eyes on every details has to be sharpen over average people. That's what I see myself as an real VFX artist.
So heres an example of color theory use. I hope everyone watched "Black Hawk Down" movie? The color using is amazing there. I learned a lot after reading how they made it. They used 3 main colors in the whole film. Blue, brown-ish, green. The inverted the common use of color which I think is something unique.
When in scenes where it's dangerous or bad feelings they use brown, yellow-ish color to match up with the environment and the grunge ground. Director want public's attention, lighten up the scene and we see theres something going on here. Back at the green zone we see the color gradually changes into blue-ish and more relaxed color. It's now chill and we're at safe spot. And the night came we will use commonly green where we all find ourselves desaturated in night. Reflection from lights and fires, night vision camera effect will be perfect.
It looks kind of weird when you reading all that but people don't pay too much attention before they read all these, when they saw it first they think it's looks good and obvious. They made a gradient of color use in the movie which I think is good and you see how the movie sequence color fade in and out. Because you have to match up with the previous mood. So you don't jump from color to color apparently, but with "transition".
