This article analyzes the use of color in film production and post-production. Three films will be used as examples to demonstrate the importance of creative color use in the narrative construction of film. First, it is important to investigate the naming and classification of terms used for color manipulation processes in the image. Color correction, color grading, digital colorization, look, primary corrections, secondary corrections are terms that will be analyzed and pointed. Subsequently, the article focus exclusively on the look. Through a historical account of the modification of the cinematographic image, the article aims at showing the development of the meanings that color in the image has borne throughout the history of the seventh art.
