The closer I get to filming, the more I lose myself to my imagination. It is rather easy to plan once you have your film opening set. The worst decision I have to make is between two elements that coukd contribute the same to the opening. Colors are complex as two colors could represent two different ideas to created a balanced picture but just look off when put together.
So I’ve finally decided on a coherent color scheme to enhance the themes and emotions in the opening of my film. Since it's a coming-of-age story with both lighthearted and dramatic elements, I want to use a vibrant but contrasting palette. For the scenes where the main character Oriana is trying to fit in with her new friends, I'll use cooler tones like blues and grays to represent her feeling of isolation in her interactions. These scenes will have a more calm, chilling look, reflecting her internal struggle. On the other hand, when she's with her family or embracing her heritage, the colors will shift to warmer tones like reds, oranges, and yellows. These scenes will be lively, symbolizing the warmth and love of her culture and family life.
In the film's opening, I want to show the audience a visual contrast that hints at the main character's dual life. When the opening scene shows her staring at her family it would be filled with warm, inviting colors and a lively atmosphere, reflecting the joy and connection she has with her heritage. Then a scene of her texting her new friends, the color palette shifts to cooler tones, highlighting the almost emptiness she feels. This visual storytelling will help the audience immediately understand the main conflict of her identity and the emotional journey she's about to go through. .
