COLOR
Just the fact that this movie has normal color and not weird sepia decoloration filters, makes it the best DCEU movie
shareI liked the colors on Wonder Woman
shareThanks, that alone makes me want to see it. Excessive colorization or de-colorization (like the drab, lifeless look of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince) is one of my pet peeves.
shareColor filters on movies and TV drive me crazy. They affect me more on TV than in theaters, possibly because details survive the fake color better on the commercial screens than at home. I don't know why directors think this is such genius, but they seem to love messing with the color now that digital processing makes that cheap and easy.
For me, the greenish filter makes me think my TV is broken and the teal and orange filter makes me queasy. I don't even get why they're used. I thought the point of cinematography was to immerse us in reality, but the filters don't help the story and they make things look unreal.
Sepia tone I can live with if it's subtle. I guess directors must think we only know the past from film, so old looking video means old times. I'm not sure it helps achieve that effect, but the low brownish color is less distracting to me than the others.
In any event, bad CGI and hack color filters are two easy ways to wreck an otherwise good production.
I agree, the effects used to visually reflect another era don't bother me at all. Another example the Matrix trilogy, where a greenish tint was used for scenes inside the Matrix vs no filter for scenes in the real world/Zion. It made sense logically and also imparted a subtle sense of the artificiality of the environment.
shareSo, what you're saying is that it's a colorful turd. ;)
sharesorry but in these days there's no such thing as natural color in movies, they've all been color altered digitally.
