THE COUPLE NEXT DOOR
Despite her comfort in her routine, there are signs that she secretly longs for something different. Hints of a bold color are signs that she timidly tries to break aways from the cold geometric style of her apartment.
The second apartment was filmed in a different unit of the same building in order for the layout to stay true to the other apartment. However, the objective was to transform the space into bold clashing colors, enhanced by clutter.
This overwhelming color contrast serves to create the discomfort the main character experiences when entering her neighbor’s apartment since she is more at ease in the neutral and neat environment of her home.
The use of fabrics, trinkets and bold wall color paper helps create this warm eclectic space of the seamstress neighbor.
The apartment makeshift party pushes the bold colors with lights and foods continuing the eclectic feel.
Costumes help characters blend into their own spaces. In the same breath, the characters stood out of place when they step in each other’s apartment.
The choice of color for the costumes allowed for key moments where the characters seem to finally connect.
