Environment Research

For environment research, I looked at stills from comedy movies in order to see the shots they use, the lighting they use and the colour palette.




These are stills from Despicable Me (2010). The people who made this film used bright, vibrant colours to reflect the light and quirky tone of the genre. The environment is also well lit to match the light tone and the vibrant, quirky world of this animated film.





In Ratatouille (2007), they also used vibrant colours. They used saturated colours to make it look lively. And the colours intensify in key action moments such as the scene from the restaurant kitchen. We could use the fridge light to highlight the butter character to add a dramatic effect to his introduction.





These stills from the M&M ads use the same principle but it's also a good example of mixing 3D and live action.






In the film Inside Out (2015) Lighting can be used to suggest a change in mood
We could use this when the fridge closes after the butter gets rejected. It fades to black to reflect the pain of rejection.

We went to the set yesterday (Michelle Z and Mikayla's apartment). It's not a well lit place so we'll have to use some artificial lighting to light up the place. This could be an advantage because we could determine what colour the light will be to match a certain colour palette.
