Workshop 3: How does Lighting & Colour´ enhance the story?

Atmosphere: feel in a space, energy around you.
Mood: how you feel
Location: place something is happening.


Lighting:  Natural - light that comes from nature - sun, moon, stars, lightning, fire.
                 Artificial - man made light source - electricity, light bulbs
   
                 Warm light - yellow/orange tone
                  Cold light - blue/white tone - clean/clinical

                  Bright - fill the space
                  Dull - fills part of the space - Faded

Colour: Colour palette - what are the predominant colours used.

                   Warm colours - welcoming, happy, friendly
                    Cold colours - make us feel sad, lonely, chilly
                                         - Clean, clinical

 Brainstorm: Lighting/Colour

What is happening - Coraline and her family are having breakfast in the real kitchen
                               - look rushed and tired

                                Cold - white tone
                                Bright - whole space bright
                 Colour - white, yellowish, cream - old
                             - cold - makes space feel tired


Effect on viewer - boring, dull , sad
(feel/think) - understand they are not a happy family.
