The colour palette for the film


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.
