Drama vs feature look

Recommended Posts

I feel that I can see if I'm looking at a feature or a drama series simply by judging the look, even though the drama could be a high profile show. Am I the only one, or are there some differences that might distinguish the way the images are treated that makes a feature look like a feature and a drama look like a drama?

8-10 days to shoot 42 minutes of TV vs 30-100+ days to shoot 100 minutes of a feature.

Similarly you might grade a 42 minute show in a couple days vs spending 1-3 weeks on a feature. 

TV budgets are getting bigger, but you've just got more time to light sets in features and then more time in the grade to refine things.
