Decided!

After discussing various holes between each of our stories and the pros/ cons between them, we have finally decided on which plot we are going to develop, The Chef.

Though the story is not about a chef, we are just going to refer to our short film as that until we have agreed upon a new title. 

So now that we already have the outline created, we are going to focus on the color palette we want to achieve in the short film along with its mise-en-scene to set the tone of the piece. I found an article where Art Director Roxy Radulescu was analyzing different films and stills, creating their color palettes and explaining how they convey the tone of each scene.

Color palette for the film 'Se7en'

Specifically, this palette really drew me in and I would like to incorporate the darker colors and blues into our own piece. I feel like the darker blue is able to reveal the depth within our story and how the child is questioning the morality of their mother and the length she would go for them. The darkness would also help portray the mystery behind the whole situation, keeping the audience in suspense along with the child. Until the beginning of the third act when the viewer finds out the truth of the meat's origin, unlike the child. The hints of blue can also create visually pleasing shots and we could be able to play around with different lighting and filters to create these blue tones and shadows.
