Post production

The article by Stephen Kelly on wired.co.uk has written on the post-production for the channel 4 thriller Utopia.


Stephen Kelly first explains the plot for the series and points out about how the colour is used in the programme. He says that the director Marc Munden replaced the usual type of colour technology to the Technicolor palette of the 1950's

Kelly writes that Munden and colourist Aidan Farrell carefully colour corrected each shot in the post production stage through the software Nucoda films. Munden says that they "chose certain colours such as yellow and turquoise and painted them on to the shots afterwards". Some examples of what Munden changed was that they made the grass greener and a blue van yellow.
Everything that they did was to make the colours used to have a meaning in the story and to show the contrasts to emotions and feelings and also the events that happen in this series.
