More specifically, though, I am really liking the coloration and lighting and overall art direction of the music video for the song "Sweatpants" by Childish Gambino:
This music video using a coloring technique in which it relies on the bright and rich colors and lights of the mise en scene yet is slightly desaturated in color grading. It also has green hues in the shadows and oranges in the highlights along with some film grain to simulate the look and feel of old-school film cameras.
I want to use these techniques in a similar manner for our film opening. Using an old-school film camera look will be used to symbolize that the underlying issue that is racism has been embedded in American society and history for as long as anyone can remember. The use of colors and lights will be used to give a dreamy, yet dramatic atmosphere that highlights the paradox of inhumane and unbelievable acts of racism becoming a very real struggle and every-day concern for black people in America.
