Filtering (re Pitch Black Heist)


Over the summer I watched the short film 'Pitch Black Heist' starring Michael Fassbender and Liam Cunningham. The film made me realise that the colouring was extremely important to the whole aspect of the film, using a monochrome filter throughout the whole film as well as the black and white themed clothing of the actors adds to the theme of the whole film, especially to the title of the film. Regarding my film, I looked at a couple of different shots from my selected film genre.

I chose a scene from the 'Shannara Chronicles' and from BBC's 'Merlin'. Both shots seem to have dull themes throughout the clothing choices of the cast for example, Ander (bottom right) is dressed in a deep blue and black sort of uniform whereas Morgana (top on throne) is dressed entirely in black although on close analysis can be seen wearing different shades of green eyeshadow. Filter wise I think my film will have a sepia, dull sort of theme that links with the genre I have chosen however I would also like to bring out the natural elements of light, attempting to make sure that it is not too dark.
