Colour is part of your visual storytelling. It can be used to create meaning and mood in loads of ways from costumes and props to locations and lighting.
Warm colours, like red, yellow and orange can suggest summer, feel cosy or happy. Cool colours, like blues and greys can feel wintery, calm, tense or serious. A bold colour can draw the audience’s attention to the thing that matters most.
Colour choices can make a character fit into their surroundings or make them stand out. And colours can symbolise different ideas or emotions, like green can suggest growth and nature.
When telling a story colour helps create mood and guide the audience’s attention and emotions.
