Typography: Title Sequence- Colour Scheme

When looking at the colour schemes we would like to include within our title sequence we used the process of elimination to cut down the potential colours to just three that we felt conveyed connotations commonly associated with thriller films. Typically the genre itself is no stranger to dark colours of various shades in order to add a sense of mystery. However within the Skyfall opening clip I analysed, I noticed the prominent use of bolder and somewhat feminine colours; these added to the sense of allure and desire within the clip in relation to the female silhouette present in the frame. The correlation between the colour scheme and the storyline is apparent and has therefore inspired my group to use a similar colour scheme to foreshadow the dark desire/obsession of the stalker in the midst of his/her victim.

We have chosen this medium tone of grey as one of our potential colours due to it's solemn connotations; the colour contains an element of mystery as well as being an in between tone of black and white; this could be argued as symbolic as it signifies some sort of conflict between good and evil.

Although purple is found on the darker end of the colour spectrum it is also stereotypically viewed as a feminine colour; the intensity and depth of the shade itself connotes desire and can come across as a seductive signifier. The shade I have chosen as a visual representation of this suggestion is subtly ombre as it appears darker around the edges; this was not intentional however it works quite well and has inspired us to experiment with shadowing within our final production during our post-filming editing.



Lastly we have chosen a shaded tone of pink- dirty almost. We have chosen this colour as it is often associated with feelings of lust and sensuality as well as innocence and naivety. These hidden undertones foreshadow the nature of our thriller storyline.
