How did film directors/cinematographers control their color palette during filming? How much of it was done in post/printing?
I've just started with film photography and am fascinated by how differently colors are rendered on film compared to digital
Did they shoot stills with the film stock during pre production to check the color rendering?
Are there any good books on the subject?

Film stocks & developing had different color ranges. Sensor makers try capturing a much more even spread of hues and intensities than film did. Instead of capturing, for instance, a wide range of yellow hues from orange to green and shades ranging from nearly white to nearly black, instead film chemistry might capture & preserve a really narrow range of yellows, so the sunlight & lights of the era don't overpower your shot, leaving a great deal of space between the yellows it does capture and the also somewhat narrow band of Greens before hitting a wide range of blues (useful bc blue is a structural color) etc... a fucking mountain of scientists work went into formulating every stage of those looks over about a century.
All out the window when we went to sensors and digital post processing.

do you know how the transfer process worked?
