Fluttered - A Colour Script

Here is something I should have posted a while ago. My colour script for the film chronicling the visual change of light over the course of its duration.


Colour in my film is an important consideration becuase the events unfold over the course of one night, and the colour created by the lighting must reflect this. Starting of with warm, saturated tones, the film transitions through the cool pastel shades of night, to the cold pale light of dawn.

So too does the colour reflect the characters' actions in the film. The warm evening palette represents a freshness and vitality that possesses the nightguard as he begins his shift. The dark of the night heralds the introduction of the owlet, and is when the nightguard begins his underhanded schemes to rid himslef of the bird he so despises. The cold light of dawn represents the realisation of what has occured, and when the true consequence of the nightguard's actions are revealed.
