Answer the following questions in an in depth - paragraph:

1. What are three ways that the video mentions color can enhance filmmaking?
2. What is color sub sampling? What are the drawbacks or benefits of 8 bit color? What are the drawbacks or benefits of 10 bit color?

Implementing color in film can be used as a visual cue for location, represent the the overarching theme of the movie, and provide temperature for the film. Color sub sampling reduces the color resolution while keeping the luminance resolution the same. 8 bit color, most often used in consumer cameras and DSLRs, can display significant deterioration in the quality of the image when heavily color graded due to the lack of available information. Although 8 bit color has drawbacks in post production, it is perfect for playback. On the other hand, 10 bit color, in ProRes or DNxHD, has twice the color information as compared to the 8 bit. Because of this feature, files captured in 10 bit is perfect for most professional post production.
