Color in Digital Filmmaking

What are three ways that the video mentions color can enhance filmmaking? What is color sub-sampling?  What are the drawbacks or benefits of 8-bit color?  What are the drawbacks or benefits of 10-bit color?

    Three ways that color can enhance filmmaking are to differentiate settings, underline thematic concepts, and to create feelings and emotions. The first example which the video uses is The Matrix, as the film differentiates the Matrix from reality through green hue vs. natural colors. The second one is American Beauty, which heavily leans into a red, white, and blue color scheme to underline a primary theme relating to the facade of Lester's family. The last example was Améle, that follows an earthy color scheme that gives the film a warm feeling and makes blue tones contrast further. Color sub-sampling is the compression process in which the color resolution is reduced while the luminance resolution remains the same. The drawbacks of 8-bit color are that they can "break" when heavily color graded as there's not that much color data available. The benefits of it are that it generally works for many situations and requires less storage. The drawbacks of 10-bit color are the increasingly higher storage requirements for all the color data. The benefits of it are the improved flexibility and capabilities in color correcting and color grading.
