This blog post is gonna be all about color and how they affect each character. There’s many different mise-en-scene elements in a film opening. One of the most important things is color and how it represents different things such as characters feelings, or anything else that color serve for.
On today's post, I’m gonna talk about how each color represents each character and how we plan to use them in our film opening.
Atticus:
Atticus is a very creative character who is very imaginative and in a way is very youthful. In the following, he starts out very colorful represented by color such as blue green just overall very bright. These colors are supposed to represent the fact that he is a very bright person who has a very colorful . Green is a color that is usually used to represent youthfulness in films. Which is why we plan to use this as one of his main colors throughout the film. Blue is used to represent isolation and melancholy in films. Which in a way represents him because he’s a very lonely character. We plan to show him with very bright colors of the beginning as as he develops into a different type of character. The colors will begin to change throughout the film. In challenging times he will dress with more muted colors to represent that in a way, the brightness of his personality is fading. At times where he is regaining his sense of self back. He will regain all the brightness on the color.

Blue is used in Only God Forgives to represent loneliness and isolation
Aurora:
Aurora starts out with very dark color, so just black gray brown, which are supposed to mirror the way that Kai dresses. So she doesn’t know who she is yet she struggles to find her own colors throughout the film. As she developed into the character that she supposed to be her color, palette, including the way that she dresses, and the way that her hair is colored from dull to bright is supposed to represent her finding herself. I’m finding her personality away from being tied to another person and mirroring the colors that they use . Once she finds herself the colors more associated with her go from black to pink and red. Pink to represent in a way femininity and red to represent love. Her hair is also done at the beginning of the movie. It looks like a door red, which is supposed to sort of for shadow one of her main colors in her color palette, but it’s very dull since she’s not really herself yet. As she finds herself, she decides to dye her hair and make it feel more like her, making it brighter along with her character.

Pink is used in Dirty Dancing to represent Love
Kai:
Once again, cause personality and colors don’t really change that much through throughout the film. As I mentioned in my last blog post Kai is meant to be the main antagonist which is gonna be represented with color such as black brown gray just overall very dark and dull colors. His color probably won’t really change much throughout the film, but they rightfully represent his personality and the type of character that he is. As black is usually used to represent darkness. This is respectfully used to represent. The guys are very conflicted and dark character.
Maleficent uses the Color Black to convey a menacing character
These mise-en-scene elements will be used to enhance the storytelling and further represent the characters.
I’ll keep you updated on my progress.
Until next time!
