1. Colours!

2. Overall, for all three of my products, the colours black and white have been a
reoccurring colour and theme throughout. I feel like this can have connotations of
how life can appear to be just plain black and white (possibly representing the
sane and insane areas), but in fact this film (in its entirety) shows that there is in
fact a grey area of the human psyche (hence where the name for the film
originates).
For the magazine cover, the main colours used are black, white and grey which
explained above do relate to the actual film in similar ways to most film magazine
relates to the cover film. Of course, my colour scheme may change once I receive
feedback from my target audience. I have tried to match my colour scheme to the
genre and prop used in the film which are mainly blacks and whites.
For my film poster, I have done the same thing. However, to certain people, my
use of only two colours may seem dull and uninteresting, so this may be
something I will have to change before I finish my final product. Seen in
professional products I have conducted analysis's on the pairing of black and white
is quite common and clearly visually appealing. I have found that it is also common
for these types of film posters to include a slight use of the colour red, seen in the
posters for Insidious and The Blair Witch Project (both of which are Psychological
Horror films like my own).
My film trailer also embodies this black and white film scheme, with the use of the
black coat and white mask on the antagonist, the black and white intertitles etc.
However, there is a more adventurous use of colour in the setting of the wide,
open space of green land in the background and the colours my protagonist is
wearing also.
