Workshop 3: How does 'Lighting and Colour' enhance the story



Atmosphere - feel in a space,energy around you.
Mood - how you feel.
Location - place something is happening.

Lighting  -  natural - light that comes from nature - sun, moon, stars, lighting, fire
                   artificial - man made light source - electricity, light bulbs.
               
                   warm light - yellow/orange tone
                   cold light - blue/white tone - clean/clinical
    
                  bright - fills the space
                  dull - fills part of the space faded.

Colour - Colour palette - what are the predominant colour used.
                 
                  warm colours - welcoming, happy, friendly
                  cold colours - make us feel sad, lonely, chilly
                                      - clean, clinical

                               -  look rushed, tired

Describe Lighting - natural light - clouds through window
                                cold - white tone
                                bright - whole space bright
               
                Colour  -  white, yellowish, cream - old
                             -  cold - makes space feel tired.

Effects on Viewer - boring, dull, sad
 ( feel/think)          - understand they are not a happy family
