I've heard that two aspiring filmmakers that in your camera, if you turn the color tone up to +2, it will give the movie more of a film look. However, I do not see how this is so. Some movies have a more yellow color tone, like Skyfall, The Skin I Live In or The Tree of Life. But there are several movies before the digital age, where the color tone, looks more like it's right in the middle and more pink like The Shawshank Redemption, For Your Eyes Only or Angel Heart.
So movies before the digital age, look like the color tone is turned up to +2 like Lawrence or Arabia, but a lot of others look like the color tone is at zero. So what is it about this motion that +2 looks more like film? Is it just because more recent movies are doing it, like the two I mentioned? What is less film looking about leaving it at zero? I did some tests, and it seems both looks are good, but one does not look more film than the other though.
