Adaptation - Eyes Wide Shut

I read the script for Eyes Wide Shut, which is directed by Stanley Kubrick, and screenplay by Stanley Kubrick and Frederic Raphael. I've only heard of this film before, and since I am really interested in Kubrick films, I chose this script. I would say this story discusses about family loyalty and love in a very interesting way.

I chose to do the adaptation from a Director of Photography's point of view. In the script, the time mainly takes place at night, so the color tone might be colder overall. When in the beginning Bill and Alice are still a "happy family", the lighting should be warmer, and as their relationship gets worse, the lighting might be cooler and cooler. When Bill goes to the secret meeting, the meeting should have a different color contrast to the outside world, since it feels so unreal and dreamy. The meeting might be having really intense and violating colors, the audience doesn't know if this is reality or not, and although it feels like a dream, there would be danger lying underneath it. After Bill got kicked out of the meeting, things got slightly worse. When he wanders around the streets, it should be dark, desaturated, and have some foggy-ness to it. After all the chaos is over and Bill goes back home, the lighting should be warmer. It might have the similar composition to the beginning of the film, since they both happened in his house. The warm light of early morning should fall on Alice and the mask next to her on the bed. When Bill realizes what he have done, the same warm lighting should fall on both of them, camera slowly pulls out and end the film with the image.

It's my first time ever reading a Stanley Kubrick script, and I liked how he portrayed the relationship in a way that no one has ever thought about. I will definitely see more of his works in the future.
