Spectrum?

   The Whole Gist of Things 

   After our time of doubt and confusion, I think my group and I have finally figured out most of what we want to do. We decided on the genre Scifi/Drama because we were fascinated with the idea of connecting aspects of fantasy with (social) concepts of reality. As we had talked about previously, we knew we wanted to do something with color but we hadn't really solidified that idea. On Pinterest, we found this image that explains The Psychology of Color in Film and it helped spark new ideas inside us. Because of this, I feel everything is coming together and making more sense and I feel pretty good! We know that we want to make our opening introduce a character. As of right now, the basis of our opening is the separation of the two worlds. One world will be represented by a red hue and the other by a blue hue. We decided to utilize color psychology to symbolize the aura of each of these worlds and hopefully help set a tone. The red world is the world with all this fake news, red is also a color that symbolizes anger. Being able to use this color psychology to help convey an even deeper meaning is ultimately what helped us fill in the gaps in our idea. On the other hand we have the blue world, which is a world void of any sort of news at all. This color also symbolizes passivity and isolationism which is exactly what the people living in it are representing. These people are isolated from any form of truth so they are acting as if nothing is wrong. The story would revolve around the main protagonist who has the ability to experience both these worlds and does not know how to handle that. It would show her journey through being in these two worlds where she could never be truly honest with herself or with others because one world was untruthful and hateful and the other was oblivious and sheltered. I'm really excited to start playing with all these elements of color and see what new things come to mind as I do!
 
Until next time!
