Why is Whiplash Shot in 2 Colors?

Green takes place in Ireland, yellow takes place in Mexico.

It’s crazy to me how this movie came out almost a decade ago and there’s still new analysis videos popping up on it.

[@movieluts]

Became an instant classic.

[@NikimonxD]

The Shining is a extremer example of this

[@Minecraftlover2014]

Because Chazelle is him and original.

[@williamshakespeare9815]

They didnt rush their analysis 😊

[@Rakrune]

The color yellow being overlaid also works as a physical enhancement to the brass of the instruments to make them pop in scenes

[@MartinBergnerGuitar]

I've heard this a numerous times now with people saying that Damien Chazelle has said this himself, is there a source that can confirm this?

[@ItsOnlyObi]

@@MartinBergnerGuitar he isn’t confirming he jsut saying his opinion

[@MartinBergnerGuitar]

@@ItsOnlyObi too bad, I'm working on an essay regarding colour grading and couldn't find a source for that

[@ItsOnlyObi]

@@MartinBergnerGuitar this is from ChatGPT: it speak from a objective and subjective point of view- The director of "Whiplash," Damien Chazelle, used the color yellow in the movie primarily to create a sense of tension, urgency, and discomfort for the audience. The yellow color grading was chosen to convey a feeling of unease and nervousness, which is reflective of the intense relationship between the young drummer and his abusive teacher. In an interview, Chazelle explained that he used the color grading to try to convey the feeling of being under a spotlight, which is a common experience for musicians. The yellow color grading also helps to highlight the bright lights of the music school and the stage, which adds to the overall visual impact of the movie. Additionally, yellow is often associated with caution, warning, and danger, which are all relevant themes in the movie. The yellow color grading helps to reinforce the idea that the young drummer is in a dangerous situation with his teacher, and that he must be cautious in his actions. Overall, the use of the color yellow in "Whiplash" was a deliberate choice by the director to create a specific mood and tone that helps to reinforce the themes and emotions of the film.

[@alexnather7614]

The movie is shot in an old college with 2700K incandescent light no windows this is how it really looks

[@joe8565]

I think you’re overthinking massively on this one. The yellow colour grading is actually just there to show that the film takes place in Mexico.

[@Exo-riah]

My favourite Breaking Bad spin-off

[@PonchoTrooper]

Awesome video! I just saw Whiplash for the first time last week and I was stunned by several aspects of it!

[@movieluts]

Thank you! It’s a great movie.

[@elijahalbiston]

I heard great things about it, loved La La Land, and finally decided to give it a try. I watched a short preview on Netflix of a scene (Not quite my temp) and it absolutely hooked me. I immediately watched the entire thing. It's damn good, so contained, and clearly masterful. Unfortunately I do watch Marcus Flemmings and am of the opinion, like him, that Damien Chazelle's filmmaking has gone backwards rather than forwards. However, he seems to be looking for a smaller project next and we could see him excel again?

[@jumaisthebest]

Excellent video. Very good explained!

[@movieluts]

Glad you like it!

[@omeramrani2274]

I believe the colour yellow is used to indicate a sense of extreme terror and stress. The colour yellow is the colour that represents fear.

Sounds like bullshit to me

this is like objectively wrong lol

Everyone saying that Yellow isn't the embodiment of fear is lying. The King In Yellow, Sinestro corps??? But yeah, if I was making a movie, I'd rather have Green be the color of fear.

[@stevenbahena5956]

I think the yellow/gold, especially when Neeman is going to play in the final scene, could also be the golden lights that were common back when Jazz had already made its place in the 40s or so.

[@dingusbingus7463]

I really love the performance seen in this movie. I haven't even watched the whole film, I've seen 80% of it through clips, but talk about a movie.

[@snowset675]

Just before I start this video, I’m going to lock in my observation to see if it’s correct Green: pressure Yellow: success

[@DarciaSidTV]

Just saw this movie ! An absolutely brilliant piece of artwork.

[@souhaalaboody9886]

i took the yellow to be where andrew wanted to be and the green to be where he actually was and the more yellow showing in the film the closer andrew got to where he wanted to be

[@IanCounty11]

The OG teal/orange in my opinion

[@kumuqua]

It’s in yellow to let you know it’s in Mexico

[@foleneju]

Great video! Super in depth.

[@nateds7326]

Also, Green and Yellow are cool looking colors

[@jryce]

awesome insights!

[@gillybob7747]

I noticed that, the gold-like yellow signals the flashy and prestige classes of Shaffer. The cold and boring green signals the stale and depressing setting of the beginning, before Nieman had a shot at the big leagues.

[@Sheeeesk]

Yellow symbolizes happiness and success green symbolizes failure distress.

[@quagfan4377]

When I watched Whiplash, this is what I noticed first. Unfortunately I didn’t know what the different lighting styles meant so this video was very fun

[@BlankCanvasIndieFilms]

The yellow color grading is a metaphor for JK Simmons voicing the yellow M&M in the commercials

[@AntonioRodrigues-cz6vf]

i absolute love this movie

[@Jeongaria461]

Every music room I have ever been in has been brown and yellow/orange

[@Firefight_]

Would’ve been nice to touch on the Upswingin scene, at the height of Andrew’s feelings of failure, Fletcher casts a cold, stark blue onto him, and he can’t keep up.

[@Keeggib821]

[@senormike2354]

is this video voiced by ai???

[@AZZU_Speaks]

Anyone else feels like while it's interesting for filmmakers to use color grading, the experience for the viewers ain't the anymore?.. There's a reason 80 and 90s movies have more rewatchavility and evergreeness.. Those movies makes us feel fresh compared to contemporary movies, where peoole despite having better materials will make the world of their film ugly, artificial and unnaturally dark... Let's not even talk about DC movies..

[@day6kz]

ok but how do you know that

[@thanks5832]

My source is I made it the fuck up

[@deathvideogame]

It’s because whenever they are in yellow they are in Mexico

[@endubito]

chatgpt almost called the color Jello

[@i.p.knightley6970]

The color purple was used in another film.

[@Indie3444]

I can't tell if this is text to speech or not

[@elihutchinson007]

Weird, somehow I thought color tinting like this died out after the 2000s

[@Brushedmetal69]

I might be wrong but I think It's called orange and teal, the first movie to use it was bad boys 2 in 2003 though the look didn't take off until 2010 and it was popular for a few years most movies in the first half of the 2000s didn't have color grading, the ones that did were usually tinted blue and that carried on until the end of that decade.

[@andrewmitchell5807]

The yellow scenes represent when they're in Mexico. There you don't have to watch the video now

[@annika4420]

It’s way different from the short film as well. The short film lacks the colours and intensity

[@mike_785]

how do they make it this detailed tho.Do they just say like "OH green bad yellow good make dis yellow make dis scene green".

[@shuckLedurkins]

because one is in the matrix and the other is in breaking bad

[@Edo708]

this is the shit my english teacher would say to get the deeper meaning from a book

[@parker73724]

I think the shirt is more likely to change from white to black because he transitions from a kid to a professional. I highly doubt the white symbolizes purity, I think it was just meant to be an unprofessional outfit that a kid in school would wear.

[@alton9456]

Why did you guys increase the faded film when you desaturated the yellow scenes, you're making the original look like ass

[@ryanomalley5494]

I always find these videos read by an AI voice to be kind of uncanny and weird. The content is okay I guess.

[@theoneandonlypotatojeffob1876]

This prob makes no sense but at the start of the movie he pronounces it “kneeman” but he calls himself “nayman” as the movie goes on. Why?

[@Modden97]

I know barely anything about filmmaking and even less about the use of colors to portray different emotions. But I can't help to think that this is analyzing it too far and complicating things. I feel like most of the time it's as simple as personal taste from the director.
