Breaking color temperature down into 3 different styles of shot: Recreation, Modification and Exaggeration. By thinking about most any shot in this way, you may be able to better visualise and implement the desired visual language of the shot/scene/film you're shooting;

Recreation allows us to create something very realistic, right down to how a certain location looks in reality at a certain time of day.

Modification allows us to add temperatures into a scene that exist in reality, but don't necessarily exist in the space we're shooting.

Exaggeration lets us create a combination of temperatures that we might not ever see with our own eyes - but still exist.

This is just one aspect of what can contribute toward a cinematic feeling - check out the other episodes in the Lighting for Cinema A - Z series to learn more about what makes cinema feel a certain way:
