a Coloured film

Mixing colour Temperatures The use of different colour temperatures in film can have endless great effects on a shot. Each light source, regardless of source, contains colour, and depending on a camera’s effectiveness with white balance, that colour can be revealed. Those colours can be used as subtle emotional and narrative cues to drive a story. The colour of light chosen, will have an emotional impact on the viewer. An audience will most often relate blue light as cooler and sad, while yellow/orange light tends to imply heat, vibrancy and even happiness.
