how come old movies are so much more colorful than modern ones?
How come old movies are so much more colorful than modern ones?
What was that?
blame the Coen brothers
except for the black and white movies
Teal and orange has always been a thing in photography because it's the perfect complimentary contrast of foreground and background. It's also in your screenshot. They went so overboard with it that it is now expected for that hollywood look.
why are people in old movies so brown?
The same reason most people today think beige is the best interior decoration colour.
Cause we're all depressed now
Even the old black and white movies somehow have more colour thean modern slop.
Beauty standards of the era. The bronzed tanned look was what people went for.
back then cinematic images were captured on film instead of being recorded on video
it's the lighting
Spent more time outside
Try going outside in the sun every day. Nobody who is a fit adult should be "white".
oh they're colorful alright
Digital cinematography and LED lights wash everything out.
They sure had better lighting and a lot of contrast, you can see what is happening clear as day. Modern movies are a blurry mess.
That's Sofia Loren, anon.
Don't know the movie though.
it never happened it was never real
"Houseboat"
youtu.be
I take every opportunity to post this
Seijun Suzuki was the goddamned best
Even film grain helps the strong colors stick. It's like with painting, canvas has a texture. If you removed the grain from that you'd get a blurry soft mess.
but even thr black and white ones have better contrast and blavk and white color grading
yeah. Digiyal cameras can capture anf show a pretty natural and vibrant color grade, but most cinematographers and directors don't give a shit.
true
The lights are on yet it looks like it takes place in a fucking dungeon.
Coz they're Americans
Cary Grant was English and Sophia Loren Italian
Nice
That's obviously the feeling they're trying to evoke you goddamned retard. It's literally the Joker before he gets sent to prison. Half of you morons complain just to feel smart.
cinematographers today lack talent or artistic vision
vidya shits on kino now
hat's obviously the feeling they're trying to evoke
no, that just the way movies are shot these days. they all poses the same dungeonesque feeling
it doesn't matter the context, everything must look like a cloudy overcast day
At least one of those people is a wop
I'll tell you the real reason, anon. Back around the turn of the century libtard types started complaining about film being racist, saying that it was tuned specifically to make niggers look ugly and everyone else to look better. This was a complaint about all film, like even still photography.
So after all 'film' became digital, they started dicking around with color settings to try and get black people to not be so ugly, but it turns out it's nearly impossible to get a nigger to not look ugly, at least without blowing out the image so much you can barely see anything. The best compromise they came up with was what you see today, extremely flat and colorless shots that makes everything look kind of shitty but manages to cover up the worst aspects of black skin.
Because old movies were shot on technicolor.
A technique that splits the image into three color passes on the film that are then relayered to create the sense of a color image.
Its passed through red, green, and blue, so those colors tend to really pop out more.
The soviets had their own process for color which is why a lot of those old russian movies look the way they did.
The technology hasn't been out that long and the whole industry took a century to figure out lighting for film.
Meanwhile you have guys like michael mann or david fincher who have figured out how to light and shoot with a ccd.
teehee I want more col-(H)ACK
I want the entire movie to look like a faded poster in the front window of a failed travel agency
okay... but why?
why do they hate highlights so much?
