Practicalities of colour in our thriller opening

The use of colour is a pretty major thing in a film, for example;

• The colour of someones clothes gives a clue to their personality.
• The colour of the surroundings gives clues to the time of day it is and the time of year, for example, bright = summer.

The practicalities of the use of colour in our film are as follows:

• We want out sequence to be dark and kinda night-time ish, but not completely night time, and we aren't able to film the sequence at night time, but as the outside sequence is in a forestry area, the trees will make it darker in there in anyway, also there is a thing we can do with the editing called "day to night" this makes it look darker, although sometimes you can still tell that it was filmed during the day time. There is nothing we can do to help this situation, we will just have to make do.
• Also, the stalker needs to be in dark clothes, this adds to the suspense and mystery in the opening. Noone in the film will be wearing any bright and colourful clothes, as bright and colourful is linked with happiness, and this is not meant to be a happy film.
