Thriller movies usually have darker color palettes consisting of reds, blacks, and blues. The color scheme is used to set the mood of the film. We relate emotions to colors without realizing. For example, we think about romance or love, we think about reds and pinks. So when we think of thrillers we think of the reds for the violence and blues and blacks for the mystery.
Most colors in the wheel will work in a thriller movie if they are dark and bold. Since we are taking inspiration from Gone Girl we studied the color palette for this film. They used mostly greens, blues and yellows. The director of Gone girl, David Fincher talks about how he used blues in the opening scene to foreshadow the dead body. He described the yellow as a "sickly yellow."We are definitely taking into consideration incorporating those shades of yellow to demonstrate our main character framing her parents.
For reference Gone Girl color scheme:
