We Decided on Our Idea

We had some lengthy discussions and debates weighing the pros and cons of both the Lemonade Mules and the newer version of The Chef, and ultimately decided to go with The Chef. The new title is still pending, but will be referred to as The Chef.

The outline for that plot has been created, so I thought it would be great to research different color palettes as a way to get an idea for the mood of the film.

We landed on this:

 

Focusing on creating blue tones while contrasting that with lots of yellow and browns is not only one of the basic choices for color palettes, but it accurately depicts the tone we are trying to set for the film. There is a lot of very dark themes surrounding poverty and death.

The dark nature of the color palette is very hard to achieve given technical limitations. We have like $100 worth of equipment and the camera I have cannot handle the kind of range required for a dark color palette. 

There may have to be some discussion regarding changing the story completely because this is simply impractical given technological limitations. Shooting outside in the daylight is ideal and shooting inside in the dark is the very last thing we should be doing.
