saturation and colour correction - (Sarah)

Saturation and colour correction:

For the hospital scenes the use of a duller saturation gives a more negative, eerie effect. The audience are unaware if the character will awake or what will happen next. This plays on the emotion of fear and sadness especially in the situation and set location.

Examples of dull saturation in types of films that would appeal to my target audience:

My sisters keeper hospital scene:

My sisters keeper uses a duller saturation in the hospital scenes to convey the sadness that the main character has cancer. Especially towards the end of the film where the character passes away, the saturation dulls even more to again represent the negative situation. 


The Descendants hospital scene: 

Again in The Decendants, the saturation is dulled when the mother character is in the coma. There is also a strong blue colour theme here, I will consider giving my hospital shots a very slight blue tint to help recreate this look. 

Saturation in our film:

We changed the saturation in these shots and also turned up the brightness to give a dream like effect as she is in a coma. It also got rid of the black shadow on the pillow where the lights had been at an angle. This was the overall result from normal to colour corrected:
