Colour Scripts

Colour scripts are extremely useful for conveying the mood of a scene and how the feel of the film or game changes as the story progresses. Below are small examples of colour scripts by Pixar and Dreamworks. The first is for the animated film 'WALL-E' and demonstrates a colour shift from red/browns to purples to blues and greens. Each little section has its own atmosphere. The warmer sections are more friendly and safe whereas the colder colours change the mood and feel more futuristic and clean. In the script for 'Megamind' the blues seem foreboding and the reds and oranges signify danger which is then neutralised by good.
