The images above have been captured originally in colour on a Canon EOS 1200D.
In order to visually express negativity and positivity surrounding grief, a balance between colour and monochrome had to be found. Therefore, I have experimented by photographing outdoor scenery and have altered the effects, using Adobe Photoshop.
After studying a video that discusses the use of colour palettes, the photographs have been altered by lowering the saturation and by increasing the blue colour balance. These elements connote a more somber tone, whilst still contain some colour, as to not feel to negative. These effects will be incorporated into test shots to see as to whether this colour palette works in a motion picture. Adobe Premier Pro colour effect tool may differ to that of Photoshop.
This balance of black and white and colour will reflect the argument being explored in the documentary. Vibrant colours connote positive emotions, whilst monochrome and low saturation act as visual markers that help to shift towards more negative emotions. The Youtube video, made by the channel 'The Verge', titled 'The Verge. (2015). How filmmakers manipulate our emotions using colour, explores in depth into how altering the colour palette in a film or photograph can completely transform the message in the frame. The video also shows an example of the same clip but with two distinctly different colour effects and the results show a complete contrast in tone between the two versions of the clip.
Therefore, as an experimentation of using colour to express tone, the images above were shot, after which, the colour balance tool in Photoshop was transitioned closer towards the blue spectrum and the saturation was reduced using the saturation tool. The end result is a rendition of the original photographs but with the added effect of them seeing washout and bleak, in comparison to the originals.

This visual quality will be administered into the documentary film through editing effects in Premier pro. The results may vary with film compared with still photography, as lighting and colour can shift from frame to frame in a film.
