While deciding what to post today, I decided to search google for the trends vs. movies and their effects. The first thing that popped up, even though it wasn't what I was looking for, was just as interesting. An article from Cracked, a humor site that often raises some very true points. The title of the article is "5 Annoying Trends That Make Every Movie Look the Same."
For those of you feeling too lazy to read the article, I'll summarize it for you.
The five main claims are
5. Movies are color coded (color corrected) by genre
4. Everything else is teal and orange
3. Ramping (everything slows down, then speeds up)
2. Faking the documentary look, even when it isn't a documentary
1. 3D that makes the movie look worse
And the thing is, I can agree with all of these claims. Of course, saying every single movie ever made falls into one of these trends is a bit of an exaggeration, but there is still a lot of truth to it with more recent films. The article provides stills and poster images that clearly prove their points. These are all claims I've overheard in movie theaters, except the claims about the color correction--which the general audience normally doesn't think about.
Just figured I'd pass on this article, the link is posted below.
