Colour Isolation

Our film will be in black and white, however in post production we are going to edit a few of the objects to make them red, using colour splash. The ruby ring and the red lipstick will be the only objects in red; with an aim to draw attention and symbolise blood, consequently foreshadowing the female protagonist's death.

Our idea was inspired by the 1993 film, Schindler's List, where there are only four colour images during the three hour long black and white cinematic picture. The girl in the red coat is the most obvious and haunting symbol in the film.

Bella has been experimenting colour splash using a special software on her laptop. In the meantime, Pip used the app 'Video Star' on her phone to demonstrate our idea. However because it only picks up blue pigments, it wouldn't show anything red, so she used a bracelet with blue charms to demonstrate.
