Colour script

 Using the previously drawn scenes, I put them into Photoshop and started to develop a colour script , palettes and themes. This was in order to give a sense of tone and atmosphere to the story. In the first hallway scene, although the lighting is warm, the overall colour palette is dreary browns which does not give a feeling of optimism.

 As our character moves into the piano room, we shift from browns to blues. The blues are representative of the sorrow and sad feelings and emotions. Being in the room with the piano brings up sombre feelings for her. The lighting is much colder and is stark moonlight which is very muted. The air is filled with dust particles, almost as if she is underwater, being swamped or suffocated.

 Within the airport, everything is desaturated because she has no emotional connection to this area and she is almost not even acknowledging it. Everything is black and white and the light is stark and strong, casting long shadows. In this scene, she has only one goal in mind, to get on that plane, which is why the environment does not matter to her.

She returns to the music room which are in the same blue, dark colours as before, however once the child enters, she brings forward a warmer, cheerier atmosphere which is represented by the yellow and light that shines into the piano room. The character turns to the airport again, with the same desaturated colour scheme. Even after the flashback she is still in an environment she has no connection to so the same colour scheme remains. 

When she returns to the piano room again, as she is beginning to play the piano once more, the room is now filled with her own light. While this is not as bright and cheerful as the optimistic yellow, it is still warm and inviting as she is away from reality and is able to escape for a few moments whilst playing her grandfather's piano. In the final two shots, we return to the blue room, but this time there are streaks of the orange light we saw previously, she is now able to see some warmth and hope of the new day. While the cold blue light remains, the orange light shows she can still look forward with some optimism.
