Workshop 3: How does "lighting and Colour" enhance the story ?

Atmosphere- feel in a space, energy, around you.
Mood- how you feel
Location- the place it is happening.

Lighting- Natural- comes from nature- sun, moon, stars, lightning, fire
                Artificial- Man made light- lightbulbs, electricity
                Warm light- Yellow or orange tone
                Cold light- White, blue, green tone
                Bright light- fills the shadows
                Dull light- fills part of the space-faded

Colour- Colour palette- what are the predominant colours used
              Warm colours- Welcoming, happy, friendly
              Cold colours-  Makes us feel sad, lonely, chilly
              Clean, clinical

Brainstorm: Lighting/Colour

What is happening- Coraline and her family having breakfast in the real kitchen 
                                Look rushed, Tired

Describe- Lighting- clouds through window
                Cold- white tone
                Bright- whole scene space bright
                Colour- White, yellowish, cream- old
                Cold- makes space feel tired

Effect on viewer- Moring, dull, sad
(feel/think)           Understand they are not a happy family
                             Coraline unhappy

Director purpose- Makes other world more appealing
                             Coraline doesn't like the real world
                             
Other techniques
Angles/shots, music, costume, make-up, setting- Outside window is cloudy and grey
                                                                               Furniture looks old and run down
                                                                               Doesn't feel lived in- empty
What is happening- Coraline and other parents eating dinner in the other kitchen
                                Everyone seems happy

Describe- Lighting- Artificial- celing light
                Warm- yellow/orange tone
                Dull- some spaces dark 

                Colour- red, orange, white, black
                             Warm- happy, safe, welcome
                             
Effect on viewer- compact/close, interesting, welcoming, safe
(feel/think)- Coraline is happy to be there

Directors purpose- Shows theme looks can be deceiving because other family looks kind of happy but are actually evil.

Other techniques- costume- formal, fashionable, fit better, makes them look tidier
                                             Bright black, red, white
