Utopia Article




Utopia

For our case study, we are studying a TV show from Channel 4 named 'Utopia'. Using this article ( http://www.wired.co.uk/article/utopia-channel-4 ), I will explain how 'Utopia' achieved a 'comic book' look.


Whereas a typical film will construct colour with blues, greens and reds, the director (Marc Munden) was inspired by the palette of 1950s Hollywood, where instead they used yellows, cyans and magentas- the opposite colours.




From the article:
"Like comic-book artists, Munden and colourist Aidan Farrell carefully colour-correct each shot in post-production -- though they use grading software Nucoda Film Master instead of a brush or pen. "It's the equivalent of when they used to hand-paint photos in the Edwardian times," says Munden. "So, we choose certain colours like yellow and turquoise and paint them into the shots afterwards."
