Research
Colour Themes

Overall, since one of the scenes would be being shot in a natural environment (a field), the use of a colour palette seems somewhat unnatural, but eventually Tom and I came up with the idea that the two different environments - the opening field and the "kill room" - should have distinctly different colour palettes to further emphasize a contrast between the two, with the shots of travelling between the two being a progressive transformation from one palette to the next (mainly from a light palette to a dark palette).

First Colour Palette - "The Field"


For the field, we've chosen to use natural colours combined with the costume colours of the people involved (the victim and the person he's with) - the environment, obviously, would be blue and green or thereabouts, and the characters will be wearing fairly light colours, with the victim wearing a white shirt.

Second Colour Palette - "The Kill Room"


For the killing section, we've chosen to go with generally dark colours with implications akin to features of films in our genre - mainly the colour red, which is generally used to imply some presence of blood (and does so effectively in the opening for American Psycho), and the colour gray, generally used in a classic sense to show dark intentions. The purple used is to just be a darker version of the environment used before, suggesting that this environment is natural in it's own ways for the killer.
