This document discusses analyzing the 2013 film Blue is the Warmest Color to help portray the story of two girls falling in and out of love in their own film. It notes that the lighting in Blue is the Warmest Color reflects the characters' emotions, such as using bright lighting when the protagonists happily meet and darker lighting when one cries distressed. The document also comments that the trailer starts with drum sounds that stop when the protagonists see each other, replaced by upbeat music, and proposes changing the music to match mood changes like using solemn music for a distressed scene.

1. BLUE ISTHE
WARMEST COLOR
2013

2. The Film…
This film is a very similar story line to ours so studying it will help us
discover how to better portray what we are thinking to the audience,
through the uses of different camera angles, lighting and even sound.The
story is of two girls growing up and falling in and out of love, both homo
and heterosexual. It consists of two main female protagonists, who are
both on their journey to discovering their selves.

3. Lighting…
The lighting used in this film often reflects the emotions of the
characters. For example, when the two female protagonists meet the
lighting is bright, so we can clearly see their emotions and reactions to
seeing each other.
In contrast to this scene, later in the trailer we see one of the main protagonists crying.
This lighting is much darker, again to reflect her emotions of distress and dismay. It
creates an eerie feeling, as it is quite the contrast to the rest of the trailer and we can see
that this is the turning point for her in the film.

4. Sound…
The trailer starts with almost a drum roll sound, which abruptly stops when the two
protagonists see each other in the street and changes to an up beat, light, happy song.
This continues throughout the entire trailer, despite the mood changes.
This is where our realer slightly differs, we have decided t change the music when the
emotions of the main protagonist change. During our sixth
shot, they music will change from an upbeat song to a more solemn
one.
