Week 5 – Visual Blueprint Weekly Blog

This week we learnt about the importance of colour and how it elevates film. Colour creates mood and tone and can effectively illustrate directorial styles and distinguish their films and become recognisable. We investigate Wes Anderson and how he uses colour to balance tone in his films. The colours can impact how we perceive emotions from characters whether they are surrounded by bright colours or dark colours. When learning about colour theory in film, I investigated how I can implement a colour palette to my film by corresponding the colour wheel and create a visually pleasing sequence for my assignment 2. During the week I set out to film and had prepared for my actor to wear brown as we were going to film at the botanical gardens. Brown is complementary to green in the way to appeal to earthly tones and situating ourselves in expansive natures. This helps create a calming mood for my film as I follow an internal monologue approach of ‘hope core’ inspired video.
