This topic will look at how color grading improves storytelling by influencing the audience’s perception and emotional responses. It will also look at how color palettes influence genre conventions and mood. It looks into the visual language of film, which influences how we comprehend stories, identify with characters, and comprehend complex social themes. Because film is one of the most powerful ways people interact with culture, understanding how filmmakers use color to guide our emotions and perceptions allows us to better understand film’s power in shaping societal attitudes and reflecting cultural values.
