Genre and Mood Evolution in Movies and Photography by Colour-Coding.

 

This is a topic in my opinion not heavily discussed and i find it rather intriguing as to how our mind interprets colour and how both the photography and movie industry have managed to create a type of conformity amongst the industry.

 

Below are two links that i have found, describing the Genres and colours associated with them in the process of publishing,

What is everyone's take on this;

is it something you have thought about whilst you go about your post processing?

Ever thought about it before?

Would your mode or sense of Genre change through different use of colours in Movies, what you photograph?

What process do you use to obtain the mood/genre you are looking for?

 

Share your thoughts as this is way to important to dismiss in post processing and even the way we present our photography or movies,

I can agree that current Hollywood blockbuster smashes, usually action-flicks do have the same semblance of color in terms of representation, especially vividness. Even cinematography on a whole is the same.
So your point about post-processing techniques being similar is entirely legitimate.
In the post-processing of my own photographs, I can't say I've ever thought about it much however.

I prefer, crisp, vivid, true to life color in my film cinematography.  It is annoying how post apocalyptic movies and TV shows all look the same.  The one thing I liked about the TV show, Jericho, was that it didn't look like other movies and TV shows of that genre.  It looked more realistic.
