Without going into specifics, I've had an idea for a short film whereby the whole thing will be shot in black and white, and then in the final seconds it will switch to colour, and the same shot in a new context will provide a plot twist (I should state, the fact that it switches to B&W to colour isn't the plot twist, the plot twist is everything we've seen up until this point has a whole new meaning when we see it in colour).
Problem is, I'm not sure how to make the plot twist deepen the experience rather than cheapen it. At the moment it seems a bit gimmicky but it was simply a cool idea I had, but I can't seem to figure out how to utilise it to actually make the film better or give it MORE meaning, as if anything the new context is less profound than the original, but I just like the idea of the B&W to colour twist as I'm not sure if it's been done too often before.
Sorry I can't go into specific details but from the information given does anyone have any advice on how to write a plot twist so that it makes the story better?
Kinda hard without specifics, and I know the value of protecting your work, as I write myself. It's just one of those things you're going to have to trust your gut with, and go. Not much else I can really help you with though, as far as lack of thorough info. So good luck to you
