This is an early mood board I developed as a possibility for lighting. My idea is to use mainly desaturated and cool tones for the grey world the main character lives in. While her magic tricks are colorful, she is slowly drained of color until she too looks like the rest of this world. When she gets back into her colored environment I wanted vibrant and warm colors to welcome her back. My thought was to use something like a hard light with crisp strong shadows for the desaturated world (unlike many of the images in this moodboard, sorry) which shows how tough and callous the real world can be. Then, when she returns to color, the light is warm and soft and glowing, with soft shadows. This would contrast with the hard cool light of the 'real world' while also providing us a chance to see how inviting her world is.
