Coloration
The coloration used in this film is similar to Catherine Hardwicke's other films but it has warmer tones, to compliment the decade 0f the 70's, which is where the movie was based in and when you look back at old pictures from around that decade they have a very warm feel to them, but at some points in the film the saturation is quite low, like in the film Thirteen. An example of this is when the boys are surfing at the pair, the coloration of the film is icy and blue to show the coldness of the water and the air in the morning, but when the guys are skating the coloration is in warmer tones to show the sunshine and warmth of Venice Beach, California.
Shadows are used a lot in this film because a lot of it is filmed in darkness, but Catherine made it more real and raw but not really using big artificial light but usually natural light coming through a window or a dim light of an old ceiling lamp.
