Locations and theme for week 7
I’ve come to a conclusion that I’ll be experimenting on colour theory as I’ve done some research earlier for my presentation in week 7. I have always been passionate in shooting at a laundrette and swimming pool scenes in my film one day.
As I did a little bit of a research about colour theory before, I found that colouring can be really effective in filmmaking in terms of emotion and the pleasant of the whole scene. I want to experiment whether colouring can really effect the emotion or not by shooting the same location but changing and editing the colours and angles. Swimming pool is a great location to film in terms of the variety of the choices I can lay around when filming and editing such as waves, sound of the water and people swimming etc.. Another interesting place to explore is laundromat. Since a lot of people tend to think of laundromats as kind of a creepy place, I would like to turn it around and lead them to other kinds of views by using colours as my main mechanism. The sound of the machine, the movement when it’s swirling. My ideal of a laundrette I will film would be a vintage kind, where the machines are in retro colours.
Surprisingly, this is the first time I am really excited to do the experiment in filmmaking since I always see it as something vague and really hard to narrow things down. Hopefully, this experiment will give me a better view of colour theory and filmmaking.
