Why does the color palette of La La Land look so rich and what technology was used to shoot the film? Answer by Patrick Dugan, Product Designer at Quora, on Quora:The color palette of La La Land is vibrant for many reasons, but primarily because the film’s director Damien Chazelle elected to shoot using film. Chazelle and Sandgren both spoke of their choice to shoot using film as being primarily motivated by the fact that digital cameras capture reality so well that it becomes difficult to make a movie look “magical” during editing. Because La La Land was supposed to look much more magical than realistic, using film was a natural choice. La La Land was shot predominantly using a Panavision 35mm lens except for the scene where Mia and Sebastian are watching home movies on a projector, shot with a 16mm anamorphic lens.
