Color in Forsaken

Greetings Bloggers! Today we at CineMarcus Productions will be undergoing the important aspects of color in our film opener Forsaken! Today we will explore the different aspects that lead to the very fun atmosphere in our film opener! And I'll tell you right now it is COLORFUL.

I really want to talk about the vibrant colors in the arcade specifically. This scene not only shows how fun the atmosphere is but also highlights the difference between the environment at the mall and the big tension behind the story. The bright neon lights and colorful arcade machines in the film opener for this scenario help evoke a sense of nostalgia and excitement for the characters, drawing the audience into the lively world presented!

Now, onto costuming, the protagonist, Kendrick, wears a white long-sleeve shirt and blue jeans as you guys know from the previous posts. Suppose you don't know what these colors represent! In that case, white often symbolizes innocence, which could suggest that the protagonist is either a morally upright character or someone attempting to begin a new type of journey! Me and my partners Justin and Alexander believe that blue jeans help convey a sense of comfort; however, in this context, blue adds an element of sadness in the film opener because we want to attempt to foreshadow that this is all a dream and Kendrick is forever sad.

In comparison with Kendrick's clothes, the supporting characters also wear similar kinds of clothes too, with actually two people wearing black hoodies and sweatpants and another person wearing a green and white jacket with blue jeans! The two characters in black hoodies and sweatpants basically show that the dark clothing sets them apart from Kendrick's lighter attire. Meanwhile, the person in the green and white jacket with blue jeans presents lets say a more balanced attire. In which for this reason, the green helps evoke a connection to a lot of energy, while the white hints at a desire for clarity! 

Thank you bloggers for reading today's post! See you on the flip side!
