Introduction to Color in Film Preliminary Exercise (Part 3)

   The objective of the lesson is to learn about how color impacts a movie. Colors are used to create mood in a film. Color is significant to the audience because they elicit emotions and have a psychological effect on people. 3 codes that illustrate color in a film are hue, saturation, and brightness. Hue is the color itself. Saturation is the intensity of the color. Brightness is how light or dark the color is. The director is responsible for color in a film.

The goal of the preliminary exercise is to understand how color is used in film, and how it impacts a film. The goal of the PowerPoint was to show examples of how color is used to help dictate the tone of the film and how it supports the film itself. We created a PowerPoint in order to complete this assignment. Two people, including myself, worked on this assignment, my teammate was Michelle C.

I learned that color has a big impact on film. Color has a big part in interpreting the mood and tone of the film, what kind of world the film is based in, and how it helps certain scenes in telling the setting or the way that it makes the character the main point, etc. To complete this assignment, I observed a certain scene of a film in order to interpret the little things that color effects in the film.
