@industry7 What's the correct number of examples for a general question? It's certainly more than one. Three seems fine, especially as we then have one gritty thriller, one bubblegum actioner, and one high quality TV series.

| Jul 1, 2019 at 14:12 | comment | added | industry7 | @grimm-the-opiner Are you expecting OP to literally list every single example ever made? What's the correct number of examples for a general question? | |
| Jul 1, 2019 at 8:08 | comment | added | Grimm The Opiner | @TasosPapastylianou Adding those quite diverse examples to the question would definitely improve it, you guys could edit them in if the OP doesn't. (It's best if the questions/answers can stand alone without referencing the comments.) | |

This specific scene was shot in New Mexico, but is supposed to take place in Mexico. See breakingbad.fandom.com/wiki/Don_Eladio%27s_Hacienda | |

| Jun 28, 2019 at 17:58 | comment | added | Harper - Reinstate Monica | In Breaking Bad's case, they were showing that the segment was a flashback, simulating the yellowing of old photos and film. Still doesn't explain Mexico. | |

| Jun 28, 2019 at 13:17 | comment | added | Tasos Papastylianou | @GrimmTheOpiner no need for pedantry. In this context, "always" means "common", not 'universal operator' in set theory. And yes it is common. See for instance the mariachi trilogy youtube.com/watch?v=4D7ogIMnRq4 most outdoors scenes have very warm, often extreme pallettes. Compare to indoors / club nightscenes in the same trailer. | |

| Jun 28, 2019 at 11:00 | comment | added | Grimm The Opiner | @user While the OP makes the claim that this is "always" being done, they only provide the example of Traffic. This answer directly addresses the reasons for this choice in that film. | |
| Jun 28, 2019 at 10:32 | comment | added | user43022 | I don't think that it takes a huge leap of imagination to assume that other directors also use similar techniques and reasons when applying treatments to films. | |
| Jun 28, 2019 at 10:22 | comment | added | user | This answer only really explains Traffic, the question is asking about Hollywood in general. | |
