Filmmaker's Note

I was going to put this in my reaction paper, but it has nothing to do with the content of the film, merely the style. Well, I may still put it in the reaction paper. The film is shot on 16mm film, if I'm not mistaken, and one of the most important steps in filming with this stock is color correction. It used to be you had to do it manually, but now with telecine technology being what it is, you can turn your film into video for as little as 150 dollars and then edit your movie digitally. Clearly the filmmakers chose their super-saturated color scheme for a reason (the corn is so GOLDEN), but they forgot to adjust for people's faces, so consequently, every interviewee looks they're freezing cold and sickly red. This is so simple a mistake, it seems pretty thoughtless that they didn't correct it.
