Colour Palette

Colour Palette












In our thriller I wanted to have various colours on set that complimented each other and conjured a macabre and intense feeling. To help me with this I researched different directors that use colour palettes in their films.
One director that stood out for me was Wes Anderson, his use of pastel tones creates a retro feel to his films. Below are a few examples of scenes from his films. 


Above (The Life Aquatic of Steve Zissou) As you can see the colours in the palette are used in the scene, by using different elements. The red is used for the apple and hat; the beige is used for the wall behind him and the blues form the ocean and majestic killer whale in the background.



(Hotel Chevalier)



(The Grand Budapest Hotel) 



(Fantastic Mr. Fox)


If i had to make my own colour palette for the thriller I would use dark brown tones and dark olive tones, contrasted by a pale pastel blue hues and a striking light pinks.
