An important factor for developing a story is the color scheme that comes with it. The colors help develop the mood for the film. Also, every color is related to an emotion so when we see something in a film with a certain color we might relate it to that emotion, like the movie “inside out” that each emotion had a different color to represent them. In addition, the color schemes might affect us psychologically as well as emotionally. This YouTube video explains how the color scheme affects the audience while watching and make the movie better. As well as this article. ARTICLE
Now let’s dig deeper on the color schemes and patterns for mystery movies because after all that is what our film opening is about. The mystery films tend to keep their color schemes on the dark side. Although they might not be a dark color like black, they use bright colors but turn the saturation down to make the color a darker shade. Here are a few examples,
Shutter Island directed by Martin Scorsese
Us directed by Jordan Peele
As you can not all the colors are the same, however, the tones are. All the movies have the same dark shades, you don't see any bright colors that stand out. They're all dull and bland because mystery is not a happy subject so it wouldn't be right to include bright colors.
