The
director of the film “Black Swan” have mentioned that "when you start with a colour
film, you start with a colour." We have noticed from that, colour play a very important
role in colour films. Colour is the kind of sort to approach to framing. What type
of the frame and how this frame going to be work? What kind of environment they
are tried to create? And the subtext happens within the frames, because the actors,
set design, the costume, the quality of lens, they are all given subtext, which
includes a lot of colour information in it. And the director put every aspect of
art and craft into the frame.
Amy
Westcott, the costume designer in Black Swan also mentioned that, “the colour
palette in Black Swan is very specific. Everything had to be camera tested
because there was so much colour fluctuation to be fine tuned with fabrics. Film
stock can really change the look of the colour, so the costume designer had to
get the tones down, and go from there.”
She
also used the palette to show the evolution of Nina and Lily’s characters, the polar
opposite personalities. The pink for Nina and grey and black for Lily. And then
she carefully worked in some grey into Nina and slowly worked in some pink into
Lily, and by the end of the movie, Nina has some black, and it is more black
and grey – she almost loses the pink – and Lily is in some white with grey, she
didn't lighten. Slowly, as Nina’s character unravels, her colours become darker.
