Preset for blueish tone

[David Evans]

Hi,
Please take a look at the image below:

I wanted to be able to tint my shots like that (and there are examples much more obvious than that). I'd like to shoot a short with a blueish tone (or a yellow tone if I'd like) without having to do it in post. I'd like to do as much as I can in camera, during production. I thought of the obvious solution of the warm and cool cards. They should do the trick. But with the presets option of the XH A1, is it really necessary to mess with the white balance? Hasn't anyone made a preset for the A1 that creates a blue tone overall for the image?

Thanks!
David

try a blue filter.

But where is that filter placed? In the lights?

Increasing the Blue Gain option in the preset will shift the picture blue.

well, it should also be noted that in the film referenced, Kate Winslet's hair was partially dyed blue.

And the additional blue tones were added for the look at this stage of the film. Also the seats appear to have some blue, which Id suspect is a result of the material being a blue-black so when light hits it it can look blueish.

If you want to add blue tones, do it in your lights and flag / cut them so they only contact only the components of the shot you want them to.
