More on Visual Look

Here's another photo that shows the look of Heart Box. Look at the white that takes up much of the picture, interrupted by those accents of pink from the balloon and strawberry milk.

To show the power that white will possess in this film, here are some clips from other films:


SMILE shortfilm from Macgregor on Vimeo.

This is a clip from a short film entitled "SMILE" and centers around an albino. With such a person being the main character, white is treated to stand out in the palette.

Here's another clip:

Both of these clips was photographed by DP "MacGregor" who I found on vimeo.com. He photographs whites in a very special way, bright, pure, overblown. This is the look I would like to capture.

And here is the famous Bjork music video directed by Chris Cunningham. This really says it all, especially for "Heart Box". The bright sterile white is stunning and beautiful, the skeletal robots are a more sleek and perfect version of what X aspires to be, and the extreme close-ups on machinery during the "operation scene" will be very akin to what we see here:



Color Accents:

Here's a clip suggested by our very own DP Sophie that really uses neon colors to its advantage. Notice the scenes with the two doctors in the lab coats, and how just the smallest neon accent adds alot to an otherwise black and white look. Of course everything else is overblown 80's neon.

Here's another clip from a filmmaker named Ayz Waraich. He really takes care to use color in very small, but drastic doses. I look to use color accents in a very similar way:
