In a tonal movie,

Tone in film is the general trend of film color composition, and it is also the dominant tone composed of one color or several similar colors. It makes the whole film show a very distinct tone effect in color vision and feeling.

Tone is one of the visual language forms that the director must determine before shooting. Then, for photographers and artists, it means that hue is not a formal effect of picture color, but the sum of many color relationships in the scene.

In fact, in the creation, the tone of the film is the tone of the film, but the usage is different when expressing it.

Tone and artistic treatment of tone can be different color forms in the whole movie and a scene. According to color lightness, it can be divided into bright and dark tones, emphasis and light tones; According to color classification, it can be divided into cold tone and warm tone; According to the color, it can be divided into blue tone, green tone and red tone. What is important is that if you want to form different color styles in the film, you must have an overall composition relationship. Without color tendency, the whole film has no color tone, so there is no color tone relationship.

What is the formation of color tone and tone in film creation? This depends on the color tendency of several scenes in the whole film. In a lens picture, it depends on the color configuration relationship in the picture.

There are four factors in modeling that determine the hue:

Color relationship of the scene

There are many warm colors in the scene, which will play an important role in the warm color effect of the film.

Color relationship between clothing and props

In the scene, the color relationship of the scene does not show a tendency, but the color relationship between clothes and props is very clear. For example, the white color in the hospital is the decisive factor for the film to form a high-profile effect.

The color relationship caused by the color temperature of light.

The colors of the scenery, costumes and props in the scene are normal, but if blue light with high color temperature is used as the lighting source, then the picture is blues, which will make the cool tone effect of the film very obvious.

Use of color filter and treatment of development and printing

They will also change the color relationship of the picture, thus affecting the film modeling.

From the above four points, it can be seen that the distribution of colors, whether handled by directors or photographers, must have an overall grasp, that is, the problem of quantity and area. Therefore, for the whole film, it is necessary to control the area of color, thus producing color tendency. From the analysis of creative law, the color design of the whole film is very important, because the color of the scene determines the tone and tone of the film.
