Workshop 3: How does 'Lighting & Color' enhance the story?

Atmosphere - feel, the energy around
Mood - how you feel, emotions
Location - where something is happening

Lighting: natural - produced in nature, often sun, moon stars
            artificial - man-made light, usually electrical 

                warm - yellow, makes feel safe, warm
                  cold - white/blue tone, makes feel clean, clinical
             
               bright - fill's room, makes feel happy, safe
                  dull - fill's part of a space only, often creepy/murky

Colour Palette - predominant colours used in the scene.
                       (main)

Brainstorm: Colour/Lighting 

What's happening - Coraline & her parents having breakfast in the real kitchen.
                          - they look depressed, dull, lifeless
Technique -  lighting 
                   - cold
                   - natural - from cloudy window
                   - dull

                  Colour - cold
                             - dark
                             - off whites, creams & yellows.

Effects on the viewer - feels boring, don't want to be there
feel/think boring, dull lifeless.

Directors purpose - Set the mood that the real world is boring & empty
     (theme)          - makes the other world more appealing
                          - looks can be deceiving - is not actually a bad place to be.


Other techniques - costume - real parents in simple plain colours & fabrics in dull colours
Costume/shots/music

                             - warm - makes us feel safe/ comportable.
