Movie Mastering process

[dinkob]

This may be unrelated to this forum however I don't know where to put it.

When a movie is shot I am assuming it has that documentary natural picture, just like home movies are made.

I am assuming however that because of all of the equipment the picture is more stable than as if you were to shot it with the camera.

However, from that point on what is the process that makes the picture get the "movie" look. For example compare I think the scenes in Halloween Resurection. I think half of the movie has live documentary picture whereas the rest of it is movie is "movie".

I actually talked to someone and they said it's because of the conversion to 35mm.

Is there an article that explains this?

And I am assuming that this is done through some expensive software?

Thanks ahead.

Thats usually because the movie is shot on 35mm film at 24fps. Thats the look most people mean when they refer to 'the movie look'

Some editing apps, such as Premiere for one, have filters that attempt to replicate that look, with some limited success.

Just to say thanks for the reply.

I guess that now I understand that telecine stuff better.
