How Does The Color Affect The Mood?

Decent Essays
Early in the film in the film when displaying his time on the farm and all that happened there, there were some scenes really displaying the color and how it would affect the mood. Let’s start when Roy is playing with his father at the farm and how the colors affect the mood. When you look at the back ground and what they are wearing it seems to be extremely bright and when the women calls Iris, all the crops are glowing a bright color. As we continue through out the scenes it seems as the colors are getting dimmer and dimmer losing their shine and we see the sun setting. When the father dies the colors get awfully dim and we start feeling a bit bitter inside and when the storm comes we feel even more sorrowful and sorry for the protagonist

    The following photo is artwork that depicted the Battle of Jemappes: a battle between French and Austrian troops that took place near Jemappes, Belgium on November 6, 1792 (Rickard). Henry Scheffer, a Dutch/French painter made a rendition of Horace Vernet’s depiction of this event, which was originally created in 1821. Taking a deeper look into the French Revolution and it’s contributing factors, we can see how this battle, like many others, showed the true passion of war and why exactly this new French entity was pushing for change. One thing that is depicted through this photo is the anger that is conveyed through war, which drives the fighting itself. The reason why the Infant French republic was so angry, was the fact that they were carrying the all of the taxation burden, whereas the wealthier folks were taxed very minimally.…

    Over the span of this essay, you will see how the colors do this. The reading selection, “The Scarlet Ibis”, written by James Hurst uses the color red as a symbolic color an abundant amount. In the beginning when he was born, “He seemed all head, with a tiny body which was red and shriveled like an old man’s,” (109) This shows symbolization of death in the story. The color red is widely used to symbolize danger.…

    In 1847, Charlotte Brontë published Jane Eyre, which exemplifies how literature can convey a certain message and ignite a social reformation for women. Over 100 years later, Ralph Ellison published Invisible Man, which utilizes that same literary technique to help emphasize the societal pressures set upon blacks in American society in the 1930s and 1940s. Both literary works remain reputable novels currently as both follow a similar narrative and writing structure, utilize similar motifs, convey a certain theme, and exemplify the social unrest of the contemporary time period. Jane Eyre and Invisible Man are both “coming-of-age” novels that exemplify how adversity can lead one to search for and discover their individuality and personal identity.…

    "How it Feels to be Colored Me" is an autobiographical essay written in 1928. Zora Neale Hurston explains the changeover of growing up in the small black town of Eatonville, Florida, to the dominantly white town of Jacksonville, Florida. At the age of 13, Zora only saw white people when they traveled through the town of Eatonville which is a primarily colored town. Which does not leave enough time for her to be truly exposed to the idea of discriminating another human being based off the way they look or the color of their skin. Hurston describes how cultural identity is a part of our American history, and the racial difference between blacks and whites.…

These colours are known to be identified with depression and sadness. The meanings of Tan’s illustrations are reinforced through the use of colour. Shaun Tan stated on his website, “The Red Tree is a story without any particular narrative; a series of distinct imaginary worlds as self-contained images which invite readers to draw their own meaning in the absence of any written explanation.” (www.shauntan.net)…

    There are many aspects of the painting that add to the tone including color, placement, and amount of action in the painting. Although there are many contrasting colors in the painting that would ordinarily give a busy feeling, they instead give off a calming sense. The colors, that give a cartoonish feel, make the audience feel relaxed due to the types of green and red tones used. The tone comes off as peaceful due to the organization of the piece by choosing to add only the necessary pieces and show that a painting can be simple and still have impact. Rockman displays that things can be both chaotic but enjoyable to look at without being overwhelmed.…

    Mad Max: Fury Road is a spectacular film, and while it may not seem to be the most thought-provoking movie, there is a lot of hidden depth that can be discovered. Performing more than just a cursory viewing allows one to see the hidden themes and ideals presented in a seemingly vacuous movie, and looking past the dust and explosions allows one to see the characters develop along with the setting and landscape. The most prolific use of imagery in this movie is not even in the visual effects, which are spectacular, but in the sound. The visual effects, however, influence the movie nearly as much, from the specific color choice to the landscape and its specificities. Sound, and it’s absence, is a very powerful thing.…

    Film has a particular way of drawing those in to the way it should be viewed; the use of colour and how it is controlled is one such way. Tom Ford’s film A Single Man highlights the use of a controlled colour palette to create the atmosphere of the film. It relies on aspects of mise-en-scène such as positioning of objects on screen, colour aspects such as comparison of colours used between certain characters and comparison of colour between scenes and the reasons for such. A Single Man uses these aspects to create a connection between the mental states and personalities of the characters presented within the film.…
