[Amazigh Man]

in unusual color corrections there is of course the example of Sin City (Bruce Willis) .. where the picture became black and white except for women's red lips and men's blue eyes .. or yellow for blood ...etc .. it was very funny ...

.... I am talking of course about highly professional color changing and correction.. the average corrections are everywhere of course.. we see it a lot in TV commercials.
take for example a dark or nearly-dark scene in a good movie ... they are not shooting in darkness or semi-darkness ... however, in the final movie you can't see the actor's face in the scene .. it's very dark!!!! .. what they do is shoot the scene in enough light .. and then "erase" most of the light with the software... that's why they have at the end those beautiful thriller dark movies.. "smartly" lighted ... in addition to that, some objects of the scene stay somewhat lighted.. that makes the scene convincing...

all this trouble and suffer is because the camera is not like the human eye..

..

you can compare all that with those opposite poor Moroccan or egyptian or Indian movies.. where the makers don't fully understand the light rules... and what's the result? :depressing and dark movies .. light flashes in a horrible way on the green-painted walls ... actors faces are not convincing ..etc



one more thing.. i once watched a very funny episode of X-Files .. the director filmed the streets of LA like any amateur .. he didn't add a single lamp to support the poor camera.. he only filmed under the usual street lights at night!!! .. he did it of course deliberately to change the routine of the famous serie.. but what we got at the end? : technically, a very poor image in details and beauty...

but with David Duchovny and Gillian anderson in it .. it was beautiful....
