Black and white

I want the film to look different, I thought of doing the film in black and white to give it a vintage feel. I think this would work well, adding more atmosphere. My only worry is that it doesn’t look like a spoof movie. I did some looking around at old clips of black and white films. The ones that impressed me most were a new film in black and white called Dendrologium. I saw the trailer for this, I loved the atmosphere, and the black and white really added to that.another famously scary film in black and white is of course 1960 film Psycho by Hitchcock. He really wanted to do that film in black and white to create atmosphere and as a homage to the French horror film Les Diaboliques (1955) this film is about the dead coming back too,really scary for its time, involving murder and then spooky goings on after the body disappears…the black and white in this film is used to really good effect with shadows and contrasts, especially doors opening and the shadows on the walls and banisters. These films have really inspired me on this project, so many ideas and moods to think about.|||| ||||Les Diaboliques (1955)|||| ||||Psycho by Hitchcock(1960)||||
