Why is that movies directed by females look diffrent from ones directed by males?

Question

For example: Bend It Like Beckham, Something New, The Sisterhood of Traveling Pants. The color looks diffrent

Answer 1

The director, along with the cinematographer or lighting cameraman (if there is one) typically sets up the shots. They're filming exactly what they want to see.

Given the same scene, you might want to see something completely different to me... It'll be decided upon by dozens of factors - what you're like as a person, what you think the story should be doing, even your feeling towards different hues - which could be related to the physiology of your eyeball as much as it could be related to the colours in a painting that you like.

If you mean that all female directors have one look and all male directors have another look colour wise, I hadn't noticed.

Answer 2

The director decides on how he or she wants the film to look, and works with the cinematographer and the designers to achieve it. The colors can be bright and pastel, deep and saturated, washed out, or many other effects. In addition, certain colors can be emphasized, either throughout the movie or to highlight certain themes or characters. Besides the colors in the sets and costumes, color can be manipulated by lighting, filters, or digital or optical adjustments in post-production.

While some movies have decidedly feminine color palettes, I doubt that you could in general tell the sex of the director from the use of color. If there is any gender-specificity, it probably has more to do with the sex of the intended audience.

Answer 3

I think what you're talking about has more to do with the subject matter of the female-directed films (outdoor settings, upbeat romantic plots) than the sex of the director. Look at Kathryn Bigelow's movies (Near Dark, Point Break, Strange Days): they're as dark and shadowy and muted in palette as any male-directed films, but they're also pulpy action movies of the sort more commonly directed by men. Look also at Julie Taymor's films (Titus, Frida, Across the Universe). They use deep, vivid, saturated colors that are also atypical; I imagine it's because she has a background in puppetry and theater, unlike most women directors, who come to film via television.

Answer 4

Because men are color blind.....
