I would say that when you portray Supernaturally cinematographically there is no nomr. It's true the show has consistency as far as the dark mood is concerned, but if a story calls for blue sky and blooming flowers, so be it. The look we developed at the beginning of the first season could be technically described as a bleach bypass look, by which we de-saturate colors and increase contrast.
