Colour
Colour is a very substantial part of films. It exhibits the mood by enriching the visual authority of the story. It is sometimes used as a theme/idea or to point out something which is imperative to the story. For example, in the movie Don’t Look Now, the colour red is used as a keynote and draws the attention of the audience in a specific direction. This is ‘dramatic use of colour’ the other forms of colour used are naturalistic and also psychological use of colour.
1. Dramatic use of colour
When emotions are brought about by colour, it is called as dramatic usage of colour. Drama has aspects like emotions, actions, tension etc. All these are brought about by usage of colour.
For example, cool colours evoke a relaxed and reviving feeling in the perceiver whereas grim heavy and dull shades evoke a very sloppy feeling.

2. Psychological use of Colour
In psychological use of colour, the ‘perception’ of the film changes with the colour change in the film. A certain character will wear colours suiting the mood/nature of that character. For example, an outgoing and chirpy

    From the sound, lighting, camera placement etc. One example of this is the lighting throughout the film, you can see it is very bland, very black and white, to reflect Harold’s lifestyle. Another use of lighting in the film is when the light on his wrist is flared are brightened to show the significance of the watch to him and the story. Many of the shots in the movie are simple and still, especially towards Harold to show the simplicity of his life. The colors in the film also have a big reflection on the character’s attitude and emotions. For example the color’s in Harold’s house and work are very dull and stale to reflect his emotions and his basic personality. Another example is the bakery, which is much more colorful to show the baker’s aggressive personality. Another example is the colors in Dale’s home, they are very bright and energetic to show that the changing character and emotion of Harold. Music also shows the setting of the characters, with the music throughout…

    For example, in the popular movie by Tim Burton,”Big Fish”, it contained two scenes with a dramatic difference. That difference was the lighting. The first scene that was played showed the spectrum with beautiful grass and polished buildings, the mood was obviously exciting and cheery. The lightning showed me that since the scene was very bright. However, the second scene which showed Edward walking back to the spectrum and him being surprised for the reason that the grass was dead and the once architecturally detailed buildings were now at their ends. The lighting (dark) had an extra effect of making the scene sorrowful. In another case, Edward Bloom’s room was very dark and encouraged how Edward could be many seconds away from dieing. Lastly, the movie, “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”, when all the kids and parents continued walking in the factory, following Willie, I noticed the lighting slowly get brighter while they walked into the room with the chocolate river, which made me feel less stressed since the kids were about to have great entertainment in that…

    For instance, in “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” the competitor’s candy shops are shown to have de-saturated colors. With Wonka’s candy shop business booming the other candy shops are creating odd sorts of candies to beat out Wonka, local kids are seen trying each of the candies out. The shades of the other candy shops lacks in color compared to the vivid color used in Willy Wonkas candy shop in order to show how important to the community and financially Wonka’s store is. The soft colors of the competitor candy stores create a mood of despair, because the muted colors show how unimportant their stores are becoming due to Wonka’s. Such as in “Edward Scissor Hands” there is a high key lighting over the pastel houses as mothers and fathers are heading to work one by one in an orderly fashion. The color of the cars and homes match, streets bare of trees, yet look aesthetically pleasing. The light in this scene makes the suburbs feel mellow and calm, giving the effect of a pleasant area and life led by the people there. The soft colors also create an appearance of a peaceful neighborhood. Hence, light and color can create moods of weakness and…

    Many jobs use color psychology to their advantage such as interior designers and advertisers. In an article called The Science Behind Color and Emotion, it states how the fact that colors can impact us can help them with their work. Interior designers always use colors to create emotions in the people who live or work in the space. They use neutral colors in homes most of the time because it gives people that homey feeling. The use of colors and how they make us feel a certain way helps them with their living, so colors must have a psychological affect on us. Colors are used to people’s advantage on a day to day basis. People know that certain colors make people feel a certain way. People may think that we associate colors with feelings because that’s how we’ve been taught. That doesn’t seem logical though because the first teachers for any child are their parents, and everyone is different. The parents didn’t all teach their kids that red is associated with anger. So, we don’t associate colors because we were taught this way. We do that because it’s just the psychological effect it has on our brains.…

    At least, the emphasizing of colors affects my feeling of the environment. The red color is a bright color which could catch people’s eyes. I believe that the poet William Carlos Williams was attracted by the colorful red wheelbarrow, and wrote this poem. The rain usually brings me some feelings about sad. But in this poem, the red wheelbarrow “glazed with rain water”. The word “glazed” brings more positive feeling of rain. I am no longer feel that rain is sad. Also, there is a contrast between red and white. The bright red and typically white, the stopping wheelbarrow and moving chicken make the whole environment vivid and…

    Color, as defined by Gianetti, is a realist technique but can be formalist having a subconscious impact on the viewer. There are two types of colors; warm and cool. Warm colors stress adjectives such as violence, stimulation, aggressiveness etc. Cool colors stress adjectives such as serenity, tranquility etc. Spike Lee definitely embraces this by using the elements of both warm and cool colors to emphasize the theme of escalating racial tensions that come to a climax at the end of the movie. In addition, it emphasizes the weather and the heat with bright tones. The color red is used symbolically to convey a variety of emotions. Mood and tone are created by this use of color. As racial tensions escalate, the color continues to visually dramatize what is going on in the minds of the characters as well as what is occurring in each scene. From its first frame, the energetic credit sequence in which actress Rosie Perez dances in a red bodysuit vibrantly to Public Enemy's powerful anthem "Fight the Power," against a rear-screen backdrop that is lit in vivid blues and reds, right to its final shot. The film is an explosion of bright and warm colors and glows in an almost burning-furnace light full of vibrant red, orange, and yellow hues. In the first scenes, yellow light pours through windows of…

The nature of art is simply what you make of it and generally serves to be a stress-reliever for certain people.
