Initially, I allocated specific colours to each scene.
Storyboard for DEINAMUU - colour
When developing scenes, I began using a mix of colours unrelated to the assigned colour and struggled to keep them concise.
FIG 1: Scene 1 background
I created backgrounds by hand painting the scenes and props, then enhancing and compositing the final picture on photoshop. Working with photoshop allowed me to adjust hues and saturations of aspects of the scene, in a way it could easily blend with each other. With this method, although I was creating nice scenery’s, I was losing a sense of the general colour assigned to the scene as shown in fig 1.
My prime observation when painting scene 1 was that perhaps I used too many colours. While reading about how colour is used in cinematography I learnt the issue was mainly that I didn't use the colours properly.
I then decided to use the three colour rule. In this rule;
60% of the scene should be the primary colour
30% of the scene should be the secondary colour
10% of the scene should be the accent colour
I tested the appeal this can bring by recolouring a scene from a Netflix film titled ‘Black Rosé’.
Yellow is the Primary colour
Green is secondary
Brown is the accent
The scene remake is similar to scene 3 in DEINAMUU. The acquired knowledge I derived from testing the colours of the scene helped to create an appealing background. The background was done digitally isolating even more colours than the hand painting.
I then experimented by creating the main characters with more colour range. This made the visuals have more of a dreamy overlook.

The washed-out backgrounds toned with light greys and contemporary colours helps create a nice contrast to the characters. This gives a sense of hierarchy in the scene and helps to lead the focus.

Finally, the storyboard was recoloured to help as a guide to identifying the Primary, secondary and accent colour in was built scene.
