Importance of Colouring

A common thing for films to do is a colour correcting, which edits the shots post production and during the editing phase. Colour correcting is done in films like horror which is what our group has done, to make the screen darker, and more closed off than a lighter screen which ruins the tone of a film depending on the colour.
If a film was bright and colourful with its colouring, but the story was dark and sinister then the two would not fit, which is why some films do colour correcting, they also do this to fit how the actors look, for example film posters colours are changed to put the skin tone of the person on the poster opposite its colour to make it more visible and show clearer. Colorists take images and turn them into something better by adding depth and effects just with colour, films that have done this are the new 2016 Point Break, which had a green colouring and the Coen brothers film O Brother Where Art Thou? Graded shots help to put the colour right from under exposure or over exposure depending on the lighting used. You can change colours and filters of the images on screen, giving it the effect you want, like a "seventies cop show" look, with its blue and purple filter, or its "pure" look and clean world like the TV show 'Utopia', which has very blue skies as well as bright colour emphasis on objects.It makes the product looks much better if the colour correction looks good with the on screen images, like in a horror with a dark and lightless room. Depending on the colour of the scene, it could make a romance into a horror, and a horror into a romance. The colourist always adds value to a product that is being worked on, as they add effects like lens flares, the soft on screen blur, and set the tone or decide if the sky is night or day, and they can even change the colour of objects.
