Looking at the extra features of the The Lord of the Ring's Fellowship of the Ring (2001) illustrates the use of colour grading at movie industry standard. The process (unlike the completely digital process I have been using in my practical element of research) involved scanning the film into a computer to adjust the images and then reprinting it back onto film for distribution.
Selecting areas and highlighting or changing the colour of them, allows more control over the depiction of the performance. I could do this in After Effects to my own images, to avoid a completely wash of the same colour when colour grading.
It's interesting that the colour grading of The Lord of the Rings used the watercolours and concept art of the film as reference, hoping to get the look of a storybook to it. This links to the idea of fantasy being depicted in relation and association to childhood.
