In Aice Media Studies class we had a lesson on color theory. From my experiences outside of school I have learned that understanding color in film is rare and very appealing in the film industry. I have always loved the idea of color psychology and how different colors in a film may create emotions, set the mood, and make scenes visually appealing.
Different colors can represent different feelings. Blue often symbolizes sadness or isolation like in the movie Moonlight 2016 by Berry Jenkins. Red can show danger or passion for example in Schindler’s List 1993 Steven Spielberg. Yellow can represent happiness or madness as seen in Kill Bill 2003 by Quentin Tarantino.
In my film, I want to use color psychology to reflect the overall tone of the scene. I plan on using a contrast of vibrant happy colors with a mix on horrors and suspenseful music to make the audience feel a sort of discomfort. I will carefully be choosing colors in lighting, sets, and costumes, so that I can help tell the story in a deeper, more meaningful way.
