How does the cinematographer achieve this type of color saturation/hue? I'm new and I know it has something to do with color/balancing, but this is an extreme light blue and extreme yellow from the sun. How can you achieve this with any camera? Is it just shutter speed + color balancing?

Btw my name is Cosmo

Hello new dude

Usually filmmakers get that color during post production, which is the stage after production, and before distribution. It is accomplished using a technique called color grading, which can be done in almost all editing programs - even iMovie.

It could be achieved in camera by changing the white balance pre-sets, or white balancing a slightly blue or orange white balance card. But the best way to achieve that color would be in post-production. If you decide you do not like the way it looks, you can change it.

Good luck and

Agreed. Though this is true, there are things that need to be considered during production. I'm no DP, but it seems to me like a lot of the most talented cinematographers are shooting flat, to allow for more manipulation in post.

Cosmo, what camera are you using?

I think shooting flat also depends on the camera. I was told it works better with cameras that shoot RAW, cause some cameras, such as mine which is H.264 have more noise if you shoot flat, after you try to add saturation and contrast back in later. This also depends on your picture style too, and what your camera has. I don' t know for certain on other cameras, just going by the results I get.
