Colour Splash:

Our film will be in black and white, however in post production we are going to edit a few of the objects to make them red, using colour splash. The ruby ring and the blood-red lipstick will be the only objects in red; with an aim to draw attention and symbolise blood, consequently foreshadowing the female protagonist's death.

 This idea was inspired by the 1993 film, Schindler's List, where there is only four colour images during the three-hour black and white cinematic picture. The girl in the red coat is the most obvious symbol in the film, with her red coat representing the innocence of the Jews.

Bella has been experimenting colour splash using a special software on her laptop. In the meantime, I used the app 'Video Star' on my phone to demonstrate our idea. However because it only picks up blue pigments, it wouldn't show anything red, so I used a bracelet with blue charms.
