The lights also tell a story!!

Hi guys it's me Santi,

Let's talk a little bit about the lighting in the opening. Largely, the opening takes place in two settings: Inside of the gas station and outside in the parking lot (plus inside the car).

Inside of the gas station, the atmosphere is a bit cool, but there's enough saturation to make certain items pop, and as for neutral colors, we'll incorporate them into costumes a bit more to go along with the cool colors of the gas station.

For the exterior scene, the lighting shifts to warmer tones since it's set during dusk/sunset, and pinks, violets, and oranges will help depict this scene and set the right mood. Additionally, the giant planet in the sky will definitely add more color to the skyline. Now, her neutral tones definitely contrast against the almost beautiful planet and it's overwhelming colors, and this contrast gives the audience the first hint of what our character is feeling, and how she sees the world.

Additionally, inside the car it'll be cool lighting, though we want the lights inside of the car to be warm, so as she gets in she's being bathed in warmer light, and as she begins to drive the lights turn off, once again bathing her in a cooler tone, exemplifying how she feels as she looks at a picture of her and her friend, the reason why she's as sad as she is now. 

Not much left to do before shooting, wish us luck!

Until next time, Santi :)
