    Green takes place in Ireland, yellow takes place in Mexico.

      @@MartinBergnerGuitar this is from ChatGPT: it speak from a objective and subjective point of view-
      The director of "Whiplash," Damien Chazelle, used the color yellow in the movie primarily to create a sense of tension, urgency, and discomfort for the audience. The yellow color grading was chosen to convey a feeling of unease and nervousness, which is reflective of the intense relationship between the young drummer and his abusive teacher.
      In an interview, Chazelle explained that he used the color grading to try to convey the feeling of being under a spotlight, which is a common experience for musicians. The yellow color grading also helps to highlight the bright lights of the music school and the stage, which adds to the overall visual impact of the movie.
      Additionally, yellow is often associated with caution, warning, and danger, which are all relevant themes in the movie. The yellow color grading helps to reinforce the idea that the young drummer is in a dangerous situation with his teacher, and that he must be cautious in his actions.
      Overall, the use of the color yellow in "Whiplash" was a deliberate choice by the director to create a specific mood and tone that helps to reinforce the themes and emotions of the film.

      I heard great things about it, loved La La Land, and finally decided to give it a try. I watched a short preview on Netflix of a scene (Not quite my temp) and it absolutely hooked me. I immediately watched the entire thing. It's damn good, so contained, and clearly masterful.
      Unfortunately I do watch Marcus Flemmings and am of the opinion, like him, that Damien Chazelle's filmmaking has gone backwards rather than forwards. However, he seems to be looking for a smaller project next and we could see him excel again?

    Anyone else feels like while it's interesting for filmmakers to use color grading, the experience for the viewers ain't the anymore?.. There's a reason 80 and 90s movies have more rewatchavility and evergreeness.. Those movies makes us feel fresh compared to contemporary movies, where peoole despite having better materials will make the world of their film ugly, artificial and unnaturally dark... Let's not even talk about DC movies..

      I might be wrong but I think It's called orange and teal, the first movie to use it was bad boys 2 in 2003 though the look didn't take off until 2010 and it was popular for a few years most movies in the first half of the 2000s didn't have color grading, the ones that did were usually tinted blue and that carried on until the end of that decade.
