Color Scheme

After receiving advice from my classmates that I should use a color scheme, I decided to look deeper into this topic. Color schemes are extremely useful in film to help develop theme and emotion through the use of different colors. After developing my final plan for my music video, I decided that I am going to use two different color schemes. Since my music video is split into two different worlds, I need two color schemes that will noticeably differentiate one world from another. I also need these colors to evoke the feeling of each world. For this music video I am looking to use brighter, more saturated colors in Alan’s world, and flatter, more dull colors in the real world. 
I began looking for different color schemes that I could use. I used this video as my guide to color schemes. It helped me in deciding what colors I should use and the purpose that these colors give to my video. 




I decided that my color scheme will be driven by the desire to be authentic to the environment (that being Miami). By giving Alan’s world brighter and more saturated colors, I can really make it seem like it is part of the video game. Grand Theft Auto: Vice City is based around the Miami Vice theme. By following the color palette on the left, I can give Alan’s world a Miami Vice feeling. This fits perfectly with the cars and parties that my video originally revolved around. 
My second color palette needs to be something very dull and flat. This color palette is driven more by the emotion that I want to give off. While I don’t want the real world to look extremely boring and terrible, I still want the Miami Vice part of my video to look more intriguing and entertaining. 




Pulp Fiction (1994)
The set design and color scheme of Pulp Fiction Helps emphasize Lance’s lazy personality and his messy home. This is what I want to get across in my opening scene with the two people playing GTA. For this scene I'm choosing to stick to a yellow and orange color scheme with some blues. 
This color scheme will help properly deliver the emotion that is intended for the viewer to feel.

I plan to make Alans entire campaign for No GTA Miami vice themed. This includes the video, digipak, and website.
