3 colour scheme

In this film we want to keep every thing as simple as possible and as we are creating a typical gangsta film with a scene of posh action and over the top we want to keep the picture as clear as possible.

The reason why we have come with a 3 colour scheme is that the auidence can enjoy the film in the best quailty as possible there not to much colour to disturb the picture (this may sound very indepth but it works!).

We did look at a action film named hero and this clip shows a contrast in colour which we thought was a pretty good idea at start:






In the 1st minute we see to good guys fight of a intire army, but we the colour scene of green, bright and easy to spot out, so what the director has done is put them in light colours so when they are in the fighting scene they stand out to a whole crowd and is more visible to see where the fighting is and the more "impact factor" upon it.



Then at 1:00 a very cleaver and epic setting is used green sheets are used for this fight scene, this could relate to the curtrual as china is a very mstical place and is full of wonder which this effect in the film relates and works very well in this type of film. Also the costume that the good guy has on gives him a upper advantage for camoflarsh and makes the film more affective and exciting due to tense action, also the film is over the top fighting which shows off a even more in depth example towards our final design as we want a hint of over the top action.



But then when we where looking at our type of film there to muchs colours going on and as ours is a gangsta type of film we needed a grimey and dull setting but a hint of over the top - which red is a bright colour and is the symbol of blood (also is a common colour).

So the colours that I will think work and Ian has agreed on is blue,black, and red.
The resason why we choosed these colours are:

Light beach Blue: It's a formal but kind of bright / dull look, its a sort of calm and bland hint and it most effective for the charater ricky and also the sky (daylight). It could also be used as a twist someone may look nice and formal in a blue t shirts but on the inside of them they could be part of a gang which ricky is involved in.

Black: Dark and dull brings out the rough side and atmosphere, perfect use for the clothes on hunter, smig, and four finger jones. Also Black is the color of objects that do not emit or reflect light in any part of the visible spectrum; they absorb all such frequencies of light so the picture for the setting will be easy to watch upon. Also it could bring outs the phyical side and rough stereotypes which we need. Also it brings out posh cars and guns which is perfect for our film e.g. James bond.

Red: Brings out the loudness of the film, loud and in your face, red is a bright colour and is easy to use in this type of film. It resembles blood, anger, crazyness, fire etc. Also Red is any of a number of similar colors evoked by light consisting predominantly of the longest wavelengths of light discernible by the human eye. So what it does is out goes all the colurs and makes you see the impact from such things as blood splatters and explosions which i said blends well and effective with our film.

So from this we can aim at the main colours to make our scene alot more easier and also back-ups some question on why we choose this kind of setting.
