Colour in..... The Corpse Bride

 Like the matrix, the Corpse Bride is a fantastic demonstration of colour palettes changing from world to world. The world that we're first introduced to, the world of the living, is a dull grey world with the only hint at colour being the occasional sepia tone in clothing or in a character's skin tone. This colour palette helps to portray that the world of the living is meant to be a place of little interest, bound by rules and appearances. However when we're later introduced to the world of the dead later on, the colour palette comes alive with burst of blues, pinks and greens. The gives the scene a lot more excitement and we're thrown into this world of music and fun. The first world of the dead scene takes place in an undead jazz bar where the lighting is all coloured lights which throw some exciting bright hues across the scene that liven up the emotion and atmosphere of the entire film. The way the colour works is quite ironic. The colour palette of the living world is quite dead and the colour palette of the world of the dead is very lively.
