The article made me so happy which is weird to say but it made me happy because I remember seeing it in class and I was like okay great I am headed in the right direction. Not only that but I found EXACTLY what I was looking for: Complementary colors.
Complementary Colors are, get this ,OPPOSITE. How perfect was Johns timing and How perfect was that epiphany I had. Anyways, continuing the article states that "Dueling colors are often associated with conflict, whether internal or external." Which is perfect because my opening is the introduction of two characters who know nothing about one another, and are polar opposites, and hey 2 minutes is not enough time to establish that so a little color will help convey that message. A little after my research my manager yelled at me to get off my phone, but the screaming was sooo worth it. After work I continued my research at home and me and John made a plan to use a green and red color scheme. Since I am not a millionaire I realize that I cannot make my own set and paint the walls whatever color I want. I decided that it was easiest to use the color scheme in clothing or "costume design". William will have a green "look", and Gus will have the "Red" look. Green is associated with feelings of stress-relief and calmness. Contrastingly Red is associated with danger, energy, desire, rebellion. Both colors go with each character accordingly and will not only provide insight on their relationship but give the film opening a more artistic look.
