Choice of colour for Films

Colours effect the overall mood of the films and being a director or cinematography choosing the colour of costume, set and the grading of the film is very important.

Choosing the colour for grading film is the decision which should be made in advance so it can be help full in lighting/ dressing the set and the colour decision for the costume.

For our project. I am planning the blue colour as more domination colour as blue is associated with all Sci-fi movies.  i.e all the famous Sci-fi films which included the alien life where dominated by the intense colour of blue.

For our project blue is also useful as blue is associated to cold also. Our protagonist will be alone in an open environment, which should give the vibe of cold and loneliness as the use of colour pallet as blue will enhance that feeling.

How to create layers in the film which need alien environmets

Creating layers in Si-fi films is all about bringing different shapes. Our current project is based on an unknown planet and its hard to create a planet environment from scratch. On the other hand it is easy as no one can say how it should look and we can create the location as we want.

After searching some art work, I find the use of circles and some straight lines the artist create three layers in the scene. The fore ground, mid and back ground. By doing that artist try to bring the 3d elements and feeling in there 2d work. I am also planning to bring that same feeling and elements in my work for this project.

The first picture is the perfect example, as there is a fore ground  which is dark so the eye will not focus on it but still it will create the distance and keeping the object closer it will create the feeling of vastness on the other layers.

The main focus is the middle as it is in the focus and it is the most brightest part of the scene.

By making the background big and out of focus it will create more depth and will give the feeling of lost in a big area.

The artist had also used the shape of circle to its max.  and bring the feeling of balance in the picture.

 

The second picture is a good example of creating a perfect landscape by not keeping the land equal. The land is never in the same level and lots of people do the mistake of drawing a plain land which kill the illusion of reality.
