The colour changes significantly throughout the extract of the Phantom of the Opera. Black and White colouring is portrayed throughout the first section of the clip, representing the Phantom of the Opera is one of the classics, with the use of Black and White representing classic, old, antique and worthy, all these meanings all link with fortunate and wealthy, which is another aspect of Phantom of the Opera is looked at. As the chandelier unveiled on the screen, the set turns into its original colour, representing that the chandelier is at the scene of everything, that it can transform classic black and white into the modern day colours, showing that it has a powerful meaning. The main colours in production are red and gold, used in the costumes and settings signifying wealth, luxury, romance and passion. These colours and representations suggest that this play is all linked to luxury and love, producing a mysterious dilemma on which one will come on top.
The lighting suggests a key participant in the first half of the extract; where in black and white colouring is being portrayed using the key and back lighting, suggesting a secretive approach to the start of the clip, where we can only see half of the right side of the characters features. As the Chandelier is unveiled on the screen, it brings bright lights towards the setting and all around the clip, with no shadows appearing. As colour comes into the film, lighting turns into left lighting giving a clearer picture for the audience to view. Back lighting being used towards end of clip again clearing the picture and setting, giving a better picture to view.
