    Filmmaking and colour

    By roemer122 | design | 0 comment | 15 August, 2015 | 0

    Colors in the film making world not only manage to inspire the creation of new feelings, but they also allow you to better immerse yourself into the entire world as a whole. Many times film makers are making clever use of colors and tones in order to make the experience either more realistic, more sci-fi or simply for creative purposes.

    With colors film makers have the ability to use a wide spectrum of ideas that can be changed as they see fit and the results are more than impressive in the end. Light colors make the experience more appealing and dreamy while also improving immersion. On the other hand, the medium and dark tones are suitable for flicks in which there’s a lot of action, where the atmosphere is not as light as you would expect and thus it’s a lot easier and better to integrate this type of ideas and tones into the entire experience.

    The idea is that colors can easily provoke a variety of feelings. Lighter tones are better suited for offering you a place where you can dream and imagine without a problem. These tones are better because they offer amazing ways to increase the immersion factor of your movie but at the same time they tend to remove the bleach from realism and offer you a more immersive and truly unique way to play everything.

    Darker tones are great for some action movies and they usually tend to go hand in hand with the character that the main protagonist has. They also tend to focus a lot on the action or horror of any situation.

    A good film maker will always try to use color combinations properly because these affect us physically and psychologically without us even knowing about such a thing. With their help each film creator has the ability to create harmony or even tension inside a scene, depending on the situation. Bright red raises the blood pressure, blue tends to offer a calming effect, where a combination of multiple color types will just make scenes more intense than ever.

    Common film color schemes

    • Complimentary color schemes include two colors situated on the opposite side of the color wheel. This is a great addition to the entire experience and one that definitely stands out due to its immersion factor.
    • Analogous Color Scheme. This time two colors that sit near one another in the color wheel are getting used, and it’s a great tool for situations when you want to showcase exteriors and landscapes.
    • Triadic Color Scheme requires three colors arranged evenly spaced around the color wheel to be used efficiently. You get a very interesting, vibrant feel and while integrating it into a movie can be challenging the results can be nothing short of exciting in the end.
    • Split-Complementary Color Scheme is more about using two colors next to one another and their opposite on the color wheel. It basically offers a unique triangle filled with some darker tones.
    • Tetradic Color Scheme. This one is all about harmony and offering a great visual delight with plenty of colors being used all around.

    All of these color schemes and ideas are widely used by filmmakers and while it can be challenging to find the right notion and color scheme to suit your needs, there’s no denying that using them offers you a unique insight to your movie and the results are nothing short of astonishing.
