Color may not tell your story, but it certainly reinforces it. Color tells the audience what to expect in a scene before the first word of dialog is even spoken. And, as you might expect, different colors have different meanings.
In this episode of the 2 Reel Guys, hosts Norman Hollyn and Larry Jordan look at the impact of color in a scene.
I appreciated the examples of footage and how it was achieved (back lit to show minimal detail in characters, light on one character to show importance, etc.). Is there a book or place that I can study some of these techniques?
