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:

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

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 ?
