Color Theory in Film - Color Psychology for Directors: Ep5

[@favarettofilms8486]

You translated many pages from a book about the basics of colour grading in less than 5 minutes... Many thanks!!

[@HackMyControlSystem]

I absolutely love the resources you guys and gals provide us newbie filmmakers. Thanks for posting.

[@StudioBinder]

Definitely! We'll keep making them as long as you keep checking them out. More great videos and resources in the works, stay tuned. :)

[@mememagnet8807]

It's been 4yrs you posted this comment , can you tell me how I can learn it

[@colicx_9980]

3:17, this music, colors flying, this video part, your words on the second green i was taken aback, that was something deep

[@matanghy2603]

Best content I could ever find, it's grateful to know that we can find this kind of content for free, so rich, so well explained

[@theonewhohatesonlineclasse7188]

If it's one thing that I like about this video, it's not just the details BUT the sound effects as well. It is as if I'm in a game or something. Another thing I like about this vid is when the background song is cut off and it mainly draws the focus on what he's saying. It really made this video unique. I enjoy watching this kind of videos. Jolly good show I say!

[@christianmcnally4323]

This channel is actually nuts btw. I mean... You guys are bringing the concept of "provide value to the viewer" to an absolutely unseen level in the film industry. I mean, honestly shocking!

I'm a simple man, I see colors, I press like

I'm neither simple NOR a man. I am a complex, nuanced, exquisite, decadent, and exotic dish, with beautiful layers of crunchy corn chips, fragrant and tender beef, succulent and juicy tomatoes, crisp lettuce shreds, fresh avocado, zesty sour cream and bitey, matured aged cheddar shavings. I am iconic. I am versatile. I am memorable. I am... _ELEGANT NACHOS_

[@rustykz7708]

I thought this saying is relevant only in Russian

[@patrickseitisoseitiso4318]

I always wonder why resourceful channels like these dont have millions of subscribers. This one is a crazy world we live in.

[@archo1988]

i like specific colors used in movies to enhance their mood. but i kinda feel that they are overdoing it nowadays. i think, it is much better when it is subtle than bold. i am forced into a specific mood and only see that color. sometimes movies are too dark, too bright, too mono or uniform, that the trick kills it rather than enhances the movie.

[@StudioBinder]

Yep, definitely. Who overdoes it in your opinion?

[@archo1988]

hm actually a lot of movies. but since you used mad max fury in your video, this one is definately overdone in my opinion. way too orangy, almost juicy :) especially compared with the mad max movies with mel gibson. while it was easy for me to feel the sand, dryness etc in those movies, i had a hard time to feel it in mad max fury. it is almost cartoony if it makes sense. maybe that was even the intention. but i didn't like it. a better example for using a specific color ist great expectations from 1998. while you could see the color green in almost every scene, it is used symbolic and therefore is placed where it tries to point on something. far better is the trilogy three colors by krzysztof kieslowski. but since the movies are based on the colors and therefore using them in the movie is obligatory, i chose great expectations, because the color is enhancing/underlining the story. btw, i am not a movie expert at all. so i could be wrong. but it is just what i see and feel as an average viewer.

[@ramonbannister9498]

The movie 300 uses color badly. On the flip side, the series Spartacus uses color grading immaculately.

[@colicx_9980]

I personally like the extreme, but not everyone use it correctly

[@fahadus]

TBH, The Matrix overdid by enough to ruin the experience. You never stop noticing how unnecessary it is. Always kept me from completely immersing into the world. Also, coding screens hadn't looked green for decades by that time so it was kind of a weird thing to do. But I think they did it to hide the limits of computer effects of the day. To that end, it's entirely forgivable.

[@avisharma9269]

You made me understand all this in a single go . You are awesomely unbelievable , as how easily you taught about color of the film.

[@rayancedrichaddad1197]

Use of Colors in Movies bring them more Deeper and Profound into the Symbols and Thematics they Explores. Colors are Magic.

[@StudioBinder]

Well said!

[@rayancedrichaddad1197]

@@StudioBinder Thank you StudioBinder for this Brief Authentic Exploration of Colors in Films. I think the Point of Colors in Films deserve a long time video to talk about. With Brief Movies Examples of Color Use in their Thematics. Like Blade Runner and more Deeper Movies.

[@rayancedrichaddad1197]

Others Directors come to my mind, to Understand their works. Akira Kurosawa / Francis Ford Coppola / Orson Welles / Frank Darabont / Oliver Stone / Hayao Miyazaki.

[@jayaychyremo2332]

You're a great help to people who don't have money to go to film school. Thanks is not enough.

[@StudioBinder]

What’s your go-to color palette? Let us know! 🎨

[@shantkiraz1838]

I’ve always enjoyed a Teal & Orange look

[@EmeraldBanks]

I have to agree with the orange and teal

[@atiqrony8631]

Blue is cool, but yellow makes warm but red means?

[@atiqrony8631]

This books is very helpful. Thank you Studiobinder

[@StudioBinder]

Red has traditionally been a color to represent desire, passion, rage, and beauty. However, it ultimately comes down to the director and what they want red to represent!

[@avenidanostalgia]

I wish that this series of videos will never end

[@StudioBinder]

We wanted to pack in A LOT of value in just 5-episodes, so we're glad you enjoyed the series! We actually have several new series in the works...so stay tuned. ;-)

[@misschipskylark]

im so glad you put twin peaks in at the end, its the reason i looked color theory up :) glad im on the right track

[@hemanthbad]

you guys are a blessing to this gen filmakers ...kindly keep going

[@mzilg]

This is a much more appropriate voiceover voice/attitude. Thank you.

[@markparkinson6378]

That is amazingly educational. Thanks to you, now I can understand more than simply the surface of a film. Thank you, StudioBinder.

[@jv8studios]

It’s true ! I’ve learnt so much from this channel ! And manger to incorporate these into my filmmaking

[@michaelsmovies1044]

i just want to say your videos are really helpful and easy to understand :)

[@nano-xm1wl]

i just found this video and i want to say that the editing is awesome and the amount of information you guys gave us is amazing

[@katojuakhil9277]

[@KAPALBATTHFILMS]

thanks make longer videos

[@StudioBinder]

Done.

[@Madskillsuniversity]

Awesome! Thanks for this. I am doing a short on this for reference and will link you. This is very very good.

[@suwaaa.8306]

I used to be an artist, seeing many color theory videos, studying it. but i don't think none ever worked for me. that's why i gradually stopped drawing. i loved painting a picture inside someone's head, telling a story, but i got bored. so, i went on a movie binge. i fell in love with the nature, because you just don't paint with the colors (visually), there are many other aspects. camera movements, resolutions. more importantly, studying art made it easier for me to study film, and studying film made me a much better artist. something i'd like to add: you can also add much more contrast to the film. not just throughout the film. in one frame, you can clash colors to create an uneasy feel. color can be used to show attention to one thing, maybe someone's blue eyes' contrast to a desaturated work place. maybe he felt dull. he went on to a place full of bright colors, so he felt more comfortable. symbolizing colors- don't always stick to a dark green is money sort of thing. make your own symbols. maybe blue is usually good, red is bad, but what if you make the main protagonist mostly red? he's not bad, he may be bold, viewed as bad so he may be used to it. maybe the antagonist wears blue, creating chaos though he is passive. anyways, i loved the video, the visual editing, and the fact i felt i got something out of it. thank you.

[@Minitomate]

Very well done explaining precisely each use of this 3 fundamental things in filmmaking!

[@MBTIMemes]

Congrats to 1 million subscribers!

[@Iamrameshchouhan]

i am just learning from you and i think its enough to grow smoothly

[@saulmirandaaliaga]

What an absolutely fantastic video, useful in every way. Thank you very much, guys!

[@autumngreenleaf3390]

Thank you. Your handouts are really helpful.

[@waynefarrellvoiceovers]

As an aside, this video has been superbly narrated.

[@businessoutsidethelines]

I've been thinking about exactly this the last few months. Funny this video and (by chance) your channel got pushed at me today!

[@DanielTuriman]

Wish this series not end.

Thank you sir🥰🥰

[@anchoentertainmentfilmproduc46]

Thanks to show us how to do it

[@FaelCacilhas]

I love when the color is obtained by objects, clothes and lighting. But I feel that today everything is digitally color graded like in 0:28 and for me that feels awful!

[@HellzieWellzie]

It’s the sad kinda blue or like a nice darkish green for me 🥺💗

[@o13sweetboy]

The 80s & 90s there was a lot of dark tones and vibrant colours which made you get lost in the movie, these days they only use the same lame dead yellowish tone in everything now or they highent up the contrast and everything looks light.

[@TBS.tudios]

4:02 i love this shot

[@HodionFilms]

thanks for this info... this really helped my last shoot on my channel ,,,

You taught me in 5 minutes what my professor couldn't in a 2 hour lecture. What exactly do we pay these people for again?

Great video. What was the music you guys used at the end of this video?

[@samiahmad2179]

did you find the music???

[@falconeducationhub2060]

Thanks a lot dear. To make me more sensible ...

[@asimian8500]

There's a color hierarchy among Hue-Saturation-Value which wasn't addressed in this video. What is the most important? Value followed by Saturation and then Hue. Notice that Hue is the least important. The other thing is color temperature which is using warm and cold colors to add another dimension. An easy way is to use a palette of complementary colors, but that's only the beginning.

[@ArunaNamal]

Good video

[@hugo95]

Awesome video, nice work! What's the song that you used in the end? It's perfect

[@m02films76]

never forget that the theatrical release of the matrix was blue and was changed to green for the dvd releases

[@wazhamuzila7245]

i subscribed 20 seconds into the vid!!!!

[@057rcbartman]

Fury Road mad max film palette was based on the stills photographers Jasin Boland edits , to george miller . That direction was based on that. hence the final result.

Can anyone please tell me the song used at 2:55 until the end of the video? Thanks!

[@tarkantruman430]

Hi. What meaning of yellow/red flowers? Every yellow flowers scenes I mean if yellow flower background of scene or we saw yellow flower in frame usually that character die in movie or becoming bad thing (die, brutal, action ...) happened. Do you know this thing? It' s call "vanitas" in renesans paintings. Vatinas paintings have red/yellow flovers. Do you here or read it this before?

[@DiviPhotos]

very nice video

[@BernardoRojasdeLuna]

Thanks!!

[@harikishan923]

What background music are you guys using towards the end of the video. It is just so amazing, I wish it was available to listen to separately.

[@sandwich42cool]

whats that movie at 0:25 I absolutely love the colors

[@pcccavallari96]

How did you make the animations? I looks amazing!

What are the films in 0:56 , 2:22 and 3:17 ?

[@197_shaikhabufawaz8]

Which software is used to edit or change the color

[@yudela1]

DaVinci Resolve is the most popular

[@swaagapersonifiedmalayalam]

Amazing video. Absolutely loved the way you put things. May I use your 'Spartans -movie' reference in my video? I believe it's the best way of explaining analogous colours to my audience.

[@ashcatcwk]

Watching this is interesting for me because I'm colorblind.

[@ranbirroy4627]

Christopher Nolan then.

[@eltonarthur1233]

Colour Theory - Hue - colours: monochrome, analogous or contemporary. Triadic colour schemes Saturation - realistic, gritty, grounded cold aesthetic. Brightness - how bright the colours are. Bright colours/lighting - happiness, lovely and exciting. Low colours/lighting - dramatic, mysterious and depressing. The brightness of a colour determines (what) the tone (is) for the movie You decide what the colours are as it's your own film and your world. You make and decide what colour means what, colours which are associated with certain characters/locations/moods.

[@zakariaabed3593]

Make another video about colors pls

[@Laach]

In the production process do color grading decisions come before or after everything is shot ?

[@StudioBinder]

Great question. It really depends on the director + cinematographer's vision. But in general, they happen after everything is shot.

[@salfordnurse]

Excellent introductory video. I think this would be equally as useful for photographers as well. Im a photographer and always spend time colour grading images, on projects, and it does make a difference. I have a love for film, and I think that influences my work a lot, from composition, to colour palette, etc. Though my pet peeve atm, with film makers and photographers etc, is the over use of teal/orange (green/orange). There’s times it works and I’m quite fond of it, but not every image calls for it.

[@StudioBinder]

Agreed, what are your favorite color palettes?

[@salfordnurse]

It all depends upon what I'm shooting, film wise Birdman is a palette I like, and opposite to that American Beauty. If I ever use teal orange, I tend to go much more into blue/purple rather than teal. I usually add it in photoshop, on soft light, at a low opacity. then create a copy of all layers merged set it to screen at a really low opacity between 5-10 %, and it ads a sort of dream like misty quality to the image. I also love bleach bypass, I do a lot of shoots outside in my home city which is an old industrial city (Manchester UK), so it works quite well. Bleach bypass is awesome to add once you've applied a colour palette to your image. my website is simongarnerphotography.com, have a look and see what upon think
