White Balance in Video

White Balance in Video

We used blue and orange gels to create a warm and cold effect. If we placed the blue gel in front of the Sony cameras then the camera would automatically adjust to the colour and turn up the temperature kelvin, this when we took the gel away would create a warm effect. 
It was the same for the orange gel which when taken away would give a cold effect.

A cold effect in movies tends to be associated with a sad, unhappy, dark emotion and can really help to emphasise what the character is feeling or portray a certain emotion before the character is on screen. 
A warm effect in movies tends to be associated with a happy good emotion. 
Although a colourist can change the temperature of the footage in post production, some producers like to change the temperature before in camera to achieve a certain look.

We did this because we think viewers would be interested in finding a little bit about the film but not giving too much details away as to leave them wanting more and wanting to watch the film.  We chose to place a video on the homepage swell that automatically plays when you first click the website link. We did this so the viewer could get a first glance at whats in the film to tease them a bit and engage them.  Our website is simple yet intuitive an
