The document discusses a color scheme for a 2-minute horror/thriller film opening. It recommends using dark, dull colors like black, grey, and shades of red, as well as bold, vivid colors. These color choices are conventional for the horror genre and are used in existing horror films and posters. The color scheme will help set the mood for the thriller film opening.

1. COLOUR SCHEME
THE COLOUR SCHEME THAT WOULD BE SUITABLE FOR MY PRODUCT (WHICH IS A 2
MINUTE FILM OPENING) WOULD BE MOSTLY DARK AND DULL YET BOLD AND VIVID
COLOURS SUCH AS: BLACK, RED, GREY, DARK LAVA, EERIE BLACK, TAUPE (SHADE OF
GREY), AMARANTH RED, BARN RED, CRIMSON RED, ROSSO CORSA ( SHADE OF RED)
ETC. I HAVE CHOSEN THESE KIND OF COLOURS, AS THERE ARE EXTREMELY
CONVENTIONAL AND GO WITH MY GENRE, WHICH IS ‘HORROR/THRILLER. WHEN I
TYPED IN ‘COLOUR SCHEME IN HORROR’, THE PICTURES AS DISPLAYED ABOVE
WERE SHOWN, IT IS CLEARLY PRESENTED/VISIBLE THAT MAJORITY OF THEM
CONSIST OF DARK AND DULL COLOURS (BLACK AND GREY) WITH BOLD AND VIVID
COLOURS (RED AND BROWN). THIS INSTANTLY ILLUSTRATES THAT HORROR AND
THRILLER MOVIES INCLUDE COLOURS THAT ARE EITHER DARK AND DULL, BOLD
AND VIVID OR BOTH. TO BE SPECIFIC, MY PRODUCT WILL ALSO HAVE SUCH
COLOURS INVOLVED, AND THESE IDEAS HAVE COME FROM EXISTING PRODUCTS,
SUCH AS: SHUTTER ISLAND ETC.

2.  The colours used in the poster are extremely conventional,
dominated by black, white and red. There is also a hint of
orange from the flame, that has reference to the film’s storyline.
The flame very cleverly lights up the DiCaprio’s character’s face,
obviously revealing that he is the main character The cinematic
shot of the island below gives a teaser at the film stylistically,
with the rain and crashing waves adding to the effect of a
psychological thriller/horror.
 These poster has greatly inspired me, in terms of giving me
ideas on what shades of colours I should use and include in my
film opening. As this would come in the ‘thriller’ genre, it
clearly shows that dark and dusky colours are used and
therefore helps me in designing my product, keeping in mind
what colours I will use in my 2 minute film opening. Whether it
will consist of bold and vivid colours like red, orange or brown
etc., or dark and dull colours like black, ash grey, misty dark blue
etc.
