In this essay, i will be focusing on the middle section of Tom Tykwer’s Run Lola Run (Lola Rennt, 1998) starting at the bank where Lola takes her father hostage, demanding 100,000 Marks from the cashier, to the post death scene of Manni (45 minutes to 53 minutes). I am going to be focusing on mise-en-scene how colour is used to portray different meanings in this segment of the film, and how it impacts the narrative, and the meaning behind this. “Lola rennt engages twenty first century audiences through a plethora of post-modern themes such as chance, circumstance and time.” (McAllister, G, 2007) Twkyer uses these aspects in the mise-en-scene as symbolism that I will explore in this essay. Firstly, I will talk about the significance of colours in this film as a whole, then go into detail about what these colours mean specifically later in this essay. “The iconography and motifs in a film are used to communicate information to the audience about characters and emotion without having to use dialogue” (Film Education, 2010) From this, you see that colours, in this film, are used for meaning without having to explain why, which ties in with the 20 minutes this film is set in. From what i have gathered by analysing this film, is that the colour red symbolises power, aggression and progression within the narrative, this is what we (the audience) want to happen, the props and people who help and progress the story. A few examples of this in this segment are: Lola’s hair, the swat…

Morality in Shades Colour is in the art and the art is literature. Often, one depicts morality the concept of shades: a color scheme that involves the gradation from lightest to darkest, which in most case, is white to black. In such scale, the shades white and black represent two contrasting extremes as they parallel the idea of morality, where white is right and black is wrong. However, the complication arises at the area between the white and black: the grey. The grey area possesses no…

passionate about drinking Pepsi. The second advertisement is a lively depiction of what happens when drinking Diet Coke. In this ad, there is a Polaroid image of a man and woman having fun with a bottle of Diet Coke on a white background. The word “Coke” acts as a pin for the picture and the image is signed on the bottom right with a red heart and the name Marc Jacobs. Furthermore, there is a blonde woman wearing a purple knee-length dress with a red bow tie belt, a magenta 16-button glove,…

audience interaction because of the prop bags (that was a great way to help the audience be involved), and with the whole play starting with Magenta in the audience and ending with the dancers doing the Time Warp in the aisles. It lived up to the naughtiness with a lot of skin and even a pole number, and I could see how this would have shocked people when it debuted, it even shocked me in present time.…

because when all the additive primary colors are added up they form the colors on spectrum. Red, blue, and green each have a complementary color which allows them to make white when they are mixed. Yellow is a complementary color of blue, magenta and green are complementary colors, and red and cyan are complementary colors. This is similar to the cone cells because the cone cells are sensitive to red, green, or blue light. And the lights of different wavelengths simulate a combination of…

Harriet." I slammed the book shut and pushed it away. I'm not Harriet, I'm Gracie Carteri. I'm seventeen and the most unpopular girl in the world—what could be worse than that. It could be a lot worse. Who am I to complain? I mean, it's not like it bothers me. I have the best parents ever. Yes, they smoother me with all the love, affection; and conversation that a girl needs, but at times I just wish I was apart of that clique group, or even a social butterfly. But no! I'm just plain old…

Colour Grading Assignment 1 First and foremost, Billy, Liz, and Jessica all agree that we will not use this footage for any purpose beyond this assignment. The scene from the show Annedroids provided to us includes four characters having a conversation outside, one of these characters being a CGI robot. The scene consists of seven different shots that vary in lighting and colour, posing a problem for the colourist who would need to adjust them for continuity. One of the noticeable challenges…

gloss, ink absorbency and whiteness was first presented and it was assumed that change of these principle paper properties would affect color reproduction. This experiment was conducted with the help of papers: Chenming double-sided gloss coated papers with 250 g/m2, 200 g/m2, Chenming double-sided matt coated papers with 128 g/m2 and 105 g/m2, Dongfan double-sided gloss coated papers 128 g/m2, Daewoo double-sided coated paper 157 g/m2, Huaxia double-sided coated paper 128 g/m2, Yatai…
