Young Sam and Suzy fall in love, make a secret pact, and run away together into the wilderness from the adults around them. Lighting played a major role in this project to show the turning point. We used a warm yellow tone for inside the tent, where Sam and Suzy feel the most comfort and true love. In contrast, we used a cool tone of blue and purple for the final scene, where it is revealed that the tent is placed in the room that represents the cold reality.
Moodboard (Warm)
We gathered tone references that give cozy feelings portraying the characters’ emotions and thoughts.
