Color in Forsaken

    Welcome Back! Today, we are going to discuss the importance of color in our film and I am so thrilled to talk about the many different scenes and all of the vibrant colors that are going to be incorporated. I will also be going into how the theory of color also persuaded us in this film opener to help things pop out better. This just makes the overall atmosphere so appealing for our opener and I can't wait to break down and show you the step-by-step process.

    

    Firstly, one of our scenes will be at an arcade in the mall and honestly this is going to be one of my favorites with the colorful scenery and all of the action that is going to be happening. With that being said, in the arcade, we are going to see lots of lighting, specifically red as it gives off high energy, joy, and excitement. With all of the warm hues that are going to be in this scene, you will definitely feel the adrenaline that is going to go into this film. Reflecting back, there will also be orange colors to show the happiness of the protagonist in this dream that he is experiencing. All of these colors are going to play important aspects of the final product of this film to show off the happiness of our protagonist, Kendrick, and also indicates a change that is about to happen. Following this scene of excitement, we see darker tones of color that are going to be used to move towards our upcoming scene. This helps to elaborate the shift in tone and foreshadow potential conflicts that are about to happen to Kendrick making it very unsettling. 

    In addition, I wanted to bring up our costuming and how the color of the clothes that the characters wear is going to be a vital contribution to our scenes. The protagonist, Kendrick, is going to be wearing a white shirt and blue jeans. This expresses the innocence and cleanliness of him symbolized by his white clothing, showing the morally well-balanced character that he is. Myself, along with my partners, Marcus and Alexander, believe the blue jeans provides a great addition to really express that comfort feeling that we are trying to go for. Furthermore, it will also be an important element towards the end of this opener as it will really show the sadness that Kendrick is going to experience. This is also being used as another opportunity to foreshadow the scenes that are about to develop soon. 

    Lastly, with our supporting characters' we are trying to keep the same mood consistent and with them wearing similar attire, it will help the whole narrative to come all together smoothly. To give you an idea, there will be two people who are wearing black hoodies and sweatpants, as well as another person wearing a green/white jacket along with blue jeans. Utilizing the black will really help to add on that sense of mystery that we are going for. Also, the dark clothing helps to set apart our main character from our supporting characters as Kendrick utilizes lighter attire, helping to foreshadow the tension in his reality. The green/white jacket from the other character is also a really great touch as it evokes a connection to growth with the green and clarity with the white. This unique costuming allows for deeper understanding of the character's role and personality.
