Bobby, Tebbe, Thank you very much for your answers. Do you think that the fuji 400t overexposed will remain less saturated than the "classic" eterna 500t ? I've read that it's possible to desaturate colors by lighting the neg with a blue tint (for example with HMI lights) and to compensate the tint when you go to print. What do you think of this solution ? Could it be combine with the overexposure ? Does it affect the image quality in other ways ? Laurent

Hi, I'm a french student in cinematography. I'm actually working on a short film that will be shot in 35mm during the first week of december. The action takes place in the 70's during a power grab in Morocco. For this film, i want to have desaturated colors with solid blacks (most of the action takes place in an underground prison. Darkness is important: corridors, cells) That's an example of the kind of look i'm searching for: http://picasaweb.google.fr/laurent.navarri...feat=directlink The film i'm working on is a small budget film. We don't have the money to do special laboratory treatment like silver retention or to do a lot of tests. I was thinking to use a low contrast desaturated film (fuji 400t) but i'm afraid of the black quality. (maybe shoud i overexposed ?) Do you have some advices to get desaturated colors while preserving solid blacks ? Thank you very much Laurent PS: sorry for my bad english :)
