Film Stock

With film stock being talked about in recent lectures I found it interesting that the two film stocks widely used, Fuji-film and Kodak have a different look to one another.

Kodak film is a much warmer looking film stock with much more prominent oranges, reds and yellows whilst Fuji-film has a cooler palette with a much more blue and green look to it.

With the program colour the look of film can be replicated and from looking at the technical features on the IMDB of the films Alcott worked on, he would always use Kodak.

From knowing this I shall be able to emulate the look of Kodak film in colour when grading my film. I shall lean to making the warmer colours a lot more vivid and saturated in more warmth than the upgraded original.
