How utopia has achieved its comic book look? - www.wired.co.uk

The online article www.wired.co.uk talks about how utopia achieved its comic book look in post prduction. Post production is the work done on a film after the filming has taken place. In utopia they get their comic book look from colour correcting in post production. In the article the director of Utopia Marc Munden wanted the show to have a technicolour palette of 1950's hollywood. Munden also talks about how the three-strip technicolor they use in filming, is then comprised of the opposite colours yellow, cyan and magentas, instead of the usual greens, blues and reds, to get this effect. To do this they use grading software Nucoda Film Master instead of a brush or pen, carefully colour-correcting each shot in post production. 

Looking at the post production that goes into Utopia it has made me think and consider what i will do in the post production of our short film, the continuity task. whether, after filming we need to colour correct something if it's maybe too dark or too bright, or cut some parts out of particular scene if they aren't effective or we have made a mistake.
