Movies in Color

I'm a bit of a cinephile, in case you couldn't tell. One of the most fascinating things about movies, however, is the cinematography behind it all. I never really appreciated it until I started looking at movie stills, or learning how cameras worked. 

The website Movies in Color is a good way to start indulging in this part of film. While one frame of a movie doesn't necessarily dissect all of its cinematographer's intentions, it's really neat to be able to see what kinds of colours were deemed complementary and all. 

And, sorry for ruining everything, but you'll soon begin to see the little things - ever notice how most films juxtapose orange and blue tones? Sorry. I knew I'd ruin everything.
