White Balance and Colour Temprature

Colour Temperature 

An aspect that is used as a method of measuring and describing colours given off by certain lights and situations. Colour temperature is measured in kelvin which determines what colour the picture will be. When the kelvin is lower the picture looks warmer because of the natural light that comes from the sun. When the sun is rising or setting it looks more orange and warmer but the temperature is actually colder.  but when the moon is out the light from the sun reflects of it which creates the darker and colder look. To make the image look warmer or colder then you can out gel filters on to the lights to make










White Balance

White balance is important because it can prevent unrealistic lighting that will make the image or video look bad. It also reproduces an image similar to the human eye. Changing the white balance can either be done manually or automatically but it depends on what the camera is set at. 

This can change the whole shot because it can determine the mood of the characters and the scene due to the colour of objects on screen. This can also change the audiences thoughts on the shot because of how it looks to the audience. For example if the room looks lighter and a bit blue then that could create a bit of mystery but if the white balance is set to a different setting then it could create a warm look to the room which can bring joy to the scene.
