Filmmaking techniques • Written by Genero
Tons of credit goes to Hoyte and K.K. for creating this warm, colourful, easy world that still conveys disconnection and loneliness.
From the beautiful video series Between Frames comes this simple but elegant edit from the Spike Jonze masterpiece, ‘Her’. Created to prompt viewers to consider the importance of colour in cinema, the video studies the use of the colour red in the film.
Her - Red (Between Frames)
It’s a real testament to the perfect match between Jonze and cinematographer Hoyte van Hoytema, who shot the film on ARRI Alexa. “Tons of credit goes to Hoyte and (1st AD) K.K. for creating this warm, colourful, easy world that still conveys disconnection and loneliness,” said Jonze, in this great interview.
This one may very well leave you thinking carefully about colour choices in your next film! For more inspiration, take a look at Genero filmmaker Iwona Bielecka’s music video for Milo Greene, another great example of using red for effect.
