Aftersun (2022) - A Haunting and Emotional Drama

Conclusion

In the past, consumer video was almost exclusively 8-bit. This means the computer storing the video had a palette of about 16.7 million colors. While that sounds like a lot, it creates problems in scenes with subtle lighting changes—like the sun dipping below the horizon of a Turkish resort. An 8-bit encode often results in "banding"—ugly, blocky lines where a smooth sky should be.

• Typical 1080p x265 10bit encode of Aftersun (1h 41m) ranges from 2 GB to 5 GB.
• Smaller = more compression artifacts in dark scenes (the film has many dim, moody shots — check the rave scene).
