Rock N Rolla – three color palette

Rock N Rolla has a few different colors throughout but overall its extreme look has a limited color palette of three main colors: Cream, Sienna, Blue. Some scenes use only two of these hues, some use all three, but almost every shot contains the burnt sienna reds.

The mixing board, and everyone’s skin are roughly the same hue, with a sudden jump to blue shadows and cream highlights.

Minority Report – high contrast

The high contrast look of Minority Report can be misleading. In this shot the blacks are actually lifted and highlights are a good bit below max. This allows for a nice smooth roll off into black and a feeling of deep deep shadows without having a crushed or crunchy clipping feel. The highlights also have a bloom that softens the hard contrast and adds a dream like layer to the experience, as if a subtler version of the pre-cognition seen by the oracles of the film. This relationship heightens the experience in its assertion that the plot is itself a premonition of our own real world future.
