COLOR COLOR COLOr

 

In the first half of the film during the party scene, I suggested we use a high saturation to make everything look artificially bright and vibrant, to add to that "perfect" look, but also so there can be a sort of fake aspect in it. It reflects Rachel's mental state. The saturation also helps Rachel present herself as someone who is perfect, however, it becomes very evident that this is not the case (hence the artificial aspect)

Unlike our backyard scenes, the bathroom scene uses normal saturation. However, because there is such a major shift, it looks a lot more dramatic to those viewing. The dull lighting reflects Rachel's inner thoughts as they are sad, depressing, and dull. 

Also, during our flashback scenes, Alexa incorporated the Flashback filter from iMovie. The filter includes blacks, greys, whites, and overall neutral tones. The filter and the neutral tones allow the flashback scene to be visually separated from the rest of the scenes, essentially showing different time periods. 

The majority of the credits have a white font. By utilizing a white font, it shows the initial innocence the movie embodies. We have a teenage girl attending a party...what could go wrong? However, we have two credits that have a pink font.  The flashback credits were pink because the black and white were not have been physically visible, however, it also matches the pink color that Rachel wears throughout the film. 

The main character solely wears pink. This separates her from everyone else in the film.  She looks the most vibrant. It also puts a lot of focus on her femininity and shows the dedication she has to her feminine and girly appearance.
