Gradient Filter

The Godfather works so well as a piece of cinema because of Willis' work. His choice of amber tones throughout gives the films their period setting (influencing period films ever since) and also gives the films' their own identity. To recreate such work it is important to understand how to create that.

The image above was shot using an orange gradient filter (http://www.mattcornock.co.uk/photos/image/1192). A relatively grey sky has been turned to a burnt orange colour, matching the same tones in the godfather. As such, this is a possibility for my work.
