Color Schemes in our Film Opening

 In all projects and films, color schemes play a very important and diverse role in establishing the tone, mood and audience perception. In out film opening, we will use color to establish the emotional depth of our protagonist and create a contrast between the different settings. By carefully utilizing a diverse pallet, we can discretely communicate themes of aggression, isolation, and vulnerability, which we hope will further expand upon the viewing experience as a whole.

For the school environment, we are going to focus on more neutral tones, such as cool blues and grays. This will emphasize the protagonists struggle with fitting into the school hierarchy. On the other hand, the house portion will feature a more dark, desaturated color pallett featuring shadows, and cold whites to fully get the depressed mood. Subtle spurts of warm, bright colors reflect the protagonist's personality with the light shining through the dark.

By meticulously developing our film opening color scheme we can lead the audience viewing experience how we want, and develop the storytelling. This ensures that every frame reinforces the theme of the story as a whole.
