AESTHETICS:
ORPHAN
As we watch the movie, there is a gradual change of lightings from the beginning to the end. Initially, ambient lighting used which makes the atmosphere appear bright and normal. However later on in the movie where Esther is in the toilet kicking and screaming, the lighting and colours become darker. This suggests that there has been a change in mood and emotion, and that everything is no longer normal. The dull and minimal colours in the scenes gives a sinister mood, foreshadowing danger for other characters as we approach the ending of the movie.
During the scenes in the basement (which is during the climax of the film), the lighting and temperature of the movie changes to a cooler tone of blue and grey. However, when the characters are not in the basement, the colours are warm, consisting of orange and brownish tones. The colour these scenes succeed to create a very eerie and mysterious feel to the film (building up tension) by using strong shadows along with these colour selections. We thought of applying this to our own film opening by emphasising warmer tones throughout.

We will apply this to our film opening by decreasing the saturation of our film (also using colour correction and adjust the lighting) and have it mostly dark/black to create the same mood and feel.
