Transitions

I do not think that I ever discussed what we are planning to do with transitions and exactly when the color grading would be taking place. 

We plan to have three different actors playing the main character...

So basically, the beginning of our film is going to be a young girl who succeeds over her peers at gymnastics. She is confident, happy, and optimistic about her future in the sport. The other girls are jealous and envious of her success. This is when she the colors will be bright, no color grading, just the authentic lighting over the gym.

Then we want to place a transition, which would be through a skill in gymnastics. The now young teenager will start to have difficulty with some of the skills, which she is not used to. This is when the color grading to darker hues will begin. She starts to become down on herself and question her skill level compared to others. 

After this transition, she will now be the oldest point in the film. This is when she is completely pessimistic and upset with her performance. She does not find joy in the sport and only finds it bringing her down. By the end of the film, we plan to have the color to be mainly black & white. We hope that this can convey the message and purpose of our film.

Ultimately, when the tone and mood changes, so will the colors.
