Welcome back!
For today’s post, I wanted to focus on color and design in film, I watched some of the most recognized movies by color and design; Written on the Wind, Vertigo, Moonlight, Amelie, and The Grand Budapest Hotel. All of these movies have outstanding color and design schemes that show color is very important to a movie and give the movie a set and determined tone.
Color facilitates storytelling, color up-brings the watcher’s emotion, that be blue for sadness or red for anger, color is more sophisticated than that. Color includes “HSB” which stands for “Hue”(color), “Saturation” (intensity), and “Brightness” (light and darkness) which can help create a whole new visual transformation. Color in film can be used to bring attention to specific details, set tone, represent character traits, and show changes in the story.
Choosing the right colors for the right things will create emotions the audience will probably not even be aware of. Picking color for your film is more than just randomly choosing, it's a thought process and some might even call it a “philosophy”.
In my film intro, since I want to give that retro/ vintage feel, I want to focus on very vibrant colors. Bright colored sunsets, yellow and reds so there is a great contrast with the blues and greens of the following sequence. I’m going to attach an example down below:

I want the change of the color scheme to show the characters' development or change compared to the past. Unlike “Breaking Bad”, where their character development is over time, this is going to be a dramatic change from one scene to another.
Stay tuned to see how it turns out!
