Colour Scheme

Hello!

Overview:

I have felt the need to provide an answer to why we chose the colour scheme that we did and what has changed from the original colour scheme that we chose. Below are our chosen colours for our horror poster, our magazine front cover and also our invitations.

Firstly, red black and white are the main colours seen on magazine so it was a huge plus that these colours were also part our colour scheme. Red connotes blood, anger, anguish, pain, black connotes mainly darkness and secrecy and white connotes innocence and purity. With this put altogether, they sum up the main themes that appear within our trailer and within our narrative on the whole. Grey is something that we just happened to fine but it complimented the rest of the colours so well, especially in our horror trailer.

Based on previous research, I can see that white, black and red are quite popular colours so we believed this confirmed that we should use these three colours together. We didn’t have grey as an option because we honestly believed that we would have never picked that colour anyway but it’s amazing what can happen when you play around on Photoshop CS3. The main idea of grey came when we were creating the magazine and from the on we decided to have this officially part of our colour scheme.

I believe that in the end the colour scheme worked out really well because they all complimented one another and it was just a typical colour scheme that you would see in numerous amount of trailers. I have learnt that the audience did like our end product because we stuck to what the audience wanted always.
