Why are some films shot with a green tinge throughout? An obvious example is the Matrix, although the directors have explained the varying colours for the real world and the Matrix, but I've also seen this technique used in Bourne Supremacy and I think it was also used in Black Hawk Down. Everything just has a slightly green element to it.

Is this done for any reason particularly?

Thanks for the speedy answer. It probably shouldn't get to me, but usually if I notice this in a film I spend the whole time wondering why it was done, rather than appreciating any of the film itself.

With regards to the atmospheric effects I suppose it does make scenes seem slightly more gritty and its probably no coincidence that all of the examples are action films.
