Pre-Production - Color Grading

                 What makes a film highly watchable? Some could argue about the dialogue, lighting, and sound, but what I believe to be one of the most important factors of any film is its colors and how they're portrayed. The best example of this is color grading, which you will see a lot of in our film. Color grading can display the atmosphere of a movie/film without using any dialogue whatsoever, that being its best power. Films like Blade Runner 2049, Mad Max: Fury Road, and Twilight just to name a few, give excellent shares as to what magnificent color grading looks like. While all of these films are great in color grading, none of them are horror films or can be even registered as a thriller. So how do I use a technique that's notorious for high-pace action films and transfer it to a horror film? 

Film Riot - Color Grading in Horror

A tip from YouTube channel Film Riot, explains that using colors that aren't very saturated but have high contrast are very dependent in editing for films as such. Another element I'll try to produce in the opening is film grain. Film grain can give a better texture towards the film and can give it a much grittier feeling, which helps a lot in our films case.
