there is a reason why, especially in this kind of movie

The same reason they cut most the image off and add black bars.

maybe because they don't want it to be transformers

But it's also done in Man of Steel, a SUPERMAN movie.

There's a trend in modern cinematography to keep the image desaturated
It's worse with music videos where they often don't even bother to crush their blacks

because it's a monster horror film set on a spoopy, dangerous planet

Holy shit you retard because indoors it's artificial light and outdoors the light won't look the same because different sun brightness and composition.

How autistic are you?

Look I put a blue filter over everything, it's so patrician.
I'm what's called an "Artiste".
Plebs wouldn't understand the delicacies of my visual direction of slapping a big fucking blue filters over everything to ruin otherwise great scenes.

Orange and Teal. Filmmaker babbies first lesson in color theory.

Its the worst fad since digital cmaeras and shaky cams.

>spoopy

jews have different genetics and prefer that color scheme

Compare this shit to Alien.

Color correction is just another lazy mans tool to even out the entire look of a movie and make it bland.

Instead of lighting just color correct everything later
Instead of color choices in sets just color correct everything later
Instead of creating a mood just color correct everything later
etc etc etc

EVERY outdoor shot looks the same because fuck lighting and randomness we just FILTER EVERYTHING AND MAKE EVERY MOVIE LOOK THE SAME

People often accuse Micheal Bay of oversaturation but atleast the frame looks vibrant and has energy. This shit looks sleep inducingly bland.

>editor
>doing color correction

it has nothing to do with art and everything to do with tone. the one on the right looks gritty and dark, while the one on the left just looks as it would in real life.

i agree, it looks like shit.

i don't know what they have against natural colouring. it makes the entire thing seem so much more real. like what we're watching actually could've happened.

these filters just put an unnecessary layer between the audience and the world.

Same with LOTR, everything has a green tint. WTF is this shit.

This isnt the Matrix where it actually made sense.

The OP and most of the posts in this thread are making me rage. How can you people claim to be patricians when you know nothing about films.

>Why do the editors always remove so much color?

First of all it isn't the editors that remove/change all of the colours. Usually what happens is after the picture is locked and edited, a colour specialist alters the colours the film with the discretion of the director in order to make it seem more stylistic or more consistent throughout scenes. So while the colour specialist is the one working the tools to change the colour, it is the director/producers that gives him references and tell him what to do and how to make it look.

Also, your example is stupid because the "orginal version" is actually a studio colour corrected version and the "colour corrected version" is some alternate fan colour correction done over the studio colour correction.

Don't blame the working peons for shit you don't like, blame the directors/producers. if you are going to blame the employees at least blame the right person.

seems to me the right version adds too much, too much contrast. not "corrected" at all.

>The same reason they cut most the image off and add black bars.
I fucking hate that

color correction?
COLOR CORRECTION


YOU MADE IT ORANGE YOU NIG NOG
ORANGE AND BLUE LIKE EVERY OTHER SHIT MOVIE IN THE LAST 10 YEARS

WHY ARE THERE NO GOOD WEREWOLF MOVIES?

>color correction
How does this "fan" know how much color was actually on the set? Some of that is even CGI...

The problem is EVERY non-comedy movie is doing it. EVERY GODDAMN ONE. Especially capeshit.

It looks atrocious.

well the studio version still has too much color removed.

>pale white faces when they are all happy and about to colonize a planet
>pale wheat when it is meant to bring them joy
just why

in the case of LotR, the blue filter wasn't present in the Theatrical release. Someone went over it in when it was being transitioned to DVD/BD and thought "HMM YOU KNOW WHAT THIS NEED? A BIG FUCKING BLUE FILTER ALL OVER IT, SURELY THAT WILL MAKE IT BETTER".

I want to see that person shot.

>add orange to a mostly blue video
>WHOOOAAAAAAA

>I want to see that person shot.

Well, LotR's cinematographer died a while ago. Jackson approved it.

>the blue filter wasn't present in the Theatrical release. Someone went over it in when it was being transitioned to DVD/BD and thought "HMM YOU KNOW WHAT THIS NEED? A BIG FUCKING BLUE FILTER ALL OVER IT, SURELY THAT WILL MAKE IT BETTER".
same thing happened with Aliens

you telling me left is better than right?

And Jurassic Park.

No, but you know you fucked up when the white stuff looks fucking melon, you're just doing something equally bad in hopes that two wrongs make a right (it doesn't)

over saturated, i prefer a middle ground.

I think so, too bright.

You realize EVERY movie does this right? Even films you think are natural have been colour corrected.

Blame the directors/producers, not the workers.

Also you haven't seen the film. You don't know the context.

As another guy said, it could be about tone, or it could be because they are on a different planet and don't want it to look bright like earth. these are all things the directors/producers considered.

>Sup Forums
>the guy thinks the editor does the colour correction

30 posts and no one corrects him...
You're the less educated board here

The orange stands out like shit, this is awful. I prefer the more subtle original.

Now this shit pisses me off. These movies had good, natural lighting.

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

>have fluorescent white/blue lights and screens in the spaceship
>bright orange faces
amateurish fan color "correction" lmao

this 1 scene looks shitty without color correction but they can't just colorize that scene alone or it will stand out so they have to do the entire thing

This so much, this whole thread is embarassing.

>Why do the editors always remove so much color?
>editors
>do anything with the color pallete at all

People here pretend they know anything about color grading while they think that "editors" are responsible for it, it isn't even funny it's just sad.
All of you ignorant delusional fuckers look up any raw digital camera file to see how grey and flat the picture is, color grading is a must. Even the best cameras like Alexa mini or RED are the same, you have to color correct it to get the most out of the picture

>left color correct version
>right is some retard applying auto-levels

Yes but why not opt for more natural colors? Why make everything look blue, gray or green?

Did u guys see theres actually 2 davids??

I don’t know what you are talking about, the colors are the same as always, "orange and teal" became a buzzword recently but it was used from the start, it's basic color contrasting.

The "blue, grey or green" you are talking about are maybe overused in bad wannabe scifis, but that's only because they are indeed bad wannabe sci fis.
Most films that were nominated for best cinematography have no problems like that.

>Skin is pink
>Therefore the correct colour for any situation and lighting should be pink skin
You're like the amateur photographers who go out and shoot at night under orange streetlights, and then correct it so it looks like daylight.

I hate it. When I view such movies and test it by tabbing in and out of the tinted and the color-corrected versions I easily prefer the color-corrected. It just looks prettier, hard to explain. Why do we like the black on our TV to be the blackest of blacks instead of washed-out gray? Human instinct.

it's been actually confirmed, that Fass is playing 2 Davids

Dubs for truth

Hey you dingus, not sure if trolling, but they're not cutting anything out, professional cinema cameras shoot natively in that aspect ratio. It looks better on big wide movie screens

Because what most people think of as natural isn't natural.

When you see people colour correcting films they are doing it to make the skin tones look like regular skin tones, but they ignore lighting, weather, and any other aspects that would actually change the colour of the scene.

I must disagree for the same reason 60FPS movies look like wonky.

>Why do we like the black on our TV to be the blackest of blacks
I hate that. It looks like shit if the blacks are crushed.

This was literally some geek who downloaded the trailer and just put a warm filter throughout the video. No single corrections per frame. You can see in the titles that "From Ridley Scott" is a more orange color than the original.

Color correction is cruise control for cool.

And also I'm affectionate about alliteration.

But yours is even shittier

>I don't know how film works

Right would be better if you actually knew how to color correct but i get your point

Its called colour grading u morans

That's because people don't understand white balance or lighting.

They look at one thing that they know should be a certain colour and then ignore that fixing the colour for that has fucked up all the other colours.

faces pop out way too much and it detracts from the coldness and darkness of space
original is better

So this is what post-processing has come down to huh?

A choice between muted grimdark or orange and teal out the ass

Continuity.

>I can't recognize anamorphic.

This is shot spherical in 16:9 and then cropped in post, same in everything ridley's done since bladerunner

first real answer

if every shot you made (+CGI) looks different, and you have to fast cut cut cut between them, what do you do?

make everything grey

Well, a colorist does edit the footage in a way.

They seem to enhance warm colors.
