Jim Nelson Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Hi, Does having high color contrast in your shots always make the shots look better and nicer? or can the shot still look great with low color contrast? Thanks for you help :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for you help :) Isn't that like asking if blue is "better" than orange? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Nelson Posted August 27, 2010 Author Share Posted August 27, 2010 The thing is I heard that high color contrast captures the attention and is more striking than a shot with low contrast. So that's why I was wondering if that meant if high color contrast made the shot better than low color contrast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Justin Hayward Posted August 27, 2010 Premium Member Share Posted August 27, 2010 I was wondering if that meant if high color contrast made the shot better than low color contrast. “Better” is a very subjective word. Just compare the two and decide what you think is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Nelson Posted August 27, 2010 Author Share Posted August 27, 2010 (edited) So what you mean is that high color contrast shots and low color contrast shots can both be striking and can both look nice? I'm sorry if I'm being a pain about this. It's just that I don't want to have any doubts about it. Thanks :) Edited August 27, 2010 by Jim Nelson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Adrian Sierkowski Posted August 27, 2010 Premium Member Share Posted August 27, 2010 So is is so subjective in film, or any art for that matter, that there is nothing beyond "doubt." It's all up to you as an artisan to make it work out the "appropriate" way for the film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
