I have began looking at and creating colour palettes for the Kodak 'Window' project. As cinematographer it is my duty to understand how to manipulate colour within the context. I will do this by making colour seem relevant to the subject matter. The subject matter in this case being that the traditional family are enjoying christmas inside their warm house, whilst a homeless girl looks inside from the cold harsh world outside. The power of colour in this case comes in when we choose to use colours to connote happiness and warmth. Below I have included examples of colour palettes from popular christmas films; The Polar Express and Elf. The colours used in both these scenes in particular are very bright and vibrant, often seen as outright 'christmassy' the most jolly time of the year.
Hopefully we can make use of these colours through the use of interior design and decoration. This way we can truly push and force the message forward - that this homeless boy or girl cannot reach this life and ultimately that is the goal. Also, the difference in colours in terms of saturation and contrast can be of importance. E.g. inside the house around the family looking like the colour palettes and above scenes opposed to the dark grey colours of the outside world.
