Colour & Aesthetics

In 'We Need To Talk About Kevin', her flashback imagery is brutally evocative of the gorier parts of the film, and so the colours and the feelings they evoke make the aesthetics particularly powerful.

The difference between dream and reality should be heightened so that tone is established clearly through colour.

The dream sequence should be full of light and a covered with a gauzy veil of warm, almost psychedelic colour. It will seem as if all senses are heightened, and so Margot's dreamy encounter with Eva is still intense.

However the awake aspects of Margot's life are dull in contrast, possibly tinged with monotonous, gloomy blue. 

Character Costume: Eva

Eva is a curious traveler, and loves the exotic and luxurious. She wear floral maxi skirts, silk scarves with chunky beaded jewellery. She loves to tell people her occult stories on a Thai beach, or about the life affirming hike to Macchu Picchu. But now Eva is back in England, and the colour and excitement she brings to Margot's life is intoxicating for both of them.

Character Costume: Margot

MARGOT

She wears vintage, loose fitting dresses and shirts with grungey outerwear and ratty plimsolls. Her long hair is unkept but straight, and the minimal make-up she wears hardly covers up the bags under her eyes.



             

Graphics Research: TITLES

The title sequence will commence as Margot gets out of bed and starts to go about her day. Graphics should hover around her in different corners to of the screen, so as to be noticeable but not the main attraction. The font should not be garish in anyway,  but instead minimalistic, in white Bell MT font. The font is simple and straightforward, but still somewhat feminine with it's soft curves.

The main titles of Dreamcatcher (2003) and Red Lights (2012) also have a simple concept and font design, but manage to blend and compliment the background whilst not being a tangible part of it. 

I also like the tinged colour palettes of both sequences as they suggest a darker substance for the film.

Fathom (1967) has a much brighter colour palette but it's placing of the titles around the movement of the character is effective.

Sound Ideas

DREAM SEQUENCE
Reference to Marie Antoinette party scene - sounds are 'underwatery' and distant, but hauntingly beautiful (hopefully). This sound could be achieved with wine glass sounds.

The bedroom and home sequence would consist mainly of diegetic noises, i.e. the birds in the morning or the running water through the tap.

Georgina Panton - Foley Sound

The opening to collateral effectively shows what i want to do with the sound during the scenes in the house and the street. There is still some atmospheric sound of the airport, but the sound of the footsteps has been amplified so you can hear them above the other diegetic sound. This creates a good effect as it highlights the character Tom Cruise is playing and draws the audience attention to him and what he is doing. If we were to use this in our opening, it could highlight the importance of Margot's character and sound good.
