The Color Wheel

After reading a blog that discussed how the color affects the look and meaning behind a film, I was able to make an educated decision on what I wanted my own film opening to look like. 

Similar to The Matrix, I want my film opening to have a "cool" feel to it. Through costume design I can make it seem like the characters are always tense. I can juxtapose this feeling through the background location, keeping the colors warm and vibrant. This implies that the society is lively and not involved with the action that is taking place. It makes the chase scene feel a little out of place, causing the audience to feel more disturbed and further enhancing that sense of mystery as to why these characters are in a suburban area. 

The Matrix: cool blue/ green
