A film that is bleached tends to have a more realistic quality.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
For horror movies, color is reassuring because, at least in older films, it adds to the fakey-ness.
But I suppose film is distinctive because of its nature, of its being able to cut through time with editing.
Film is very condensed.
If a film is good, it will work no matter what.
Simultaneously, the movie business now experiments with a colorblind approach to casting.
There are many applications for which film is going to be better, for a very long time.
I like making black and white films in natural surroundings, but I much prefer shooting a color film inside a studio where the colors are easier to control.
Film has far more color shades. It's called 'bit depth' in digital terms. And most bit depth in digital is about twelve, but film bit depth can be twenty to thirty. And so you just have more shades of yellow and red and oranges and everything.
It's better to do a film that works.
The problem with trying to make a film good and have it work for an audience is the problem of trying to tell a story well. The shape or the color of it doesn't matter.
