Preliminary Exercise: Introduction to Color in Film Preliminary Exercise 5: Warm/ Cool Colors
The objective of the post/lesson is to create a color wheel Semiotic Analysis organizer based on the Roland Barthes' Theory of Denotative and Connotative signs. Furthermore, color in film can set the overall tone of a film. The color in film can represent the genre and can also represent different meanings about the characters and setting of the film. Color is significant to a films audience because it can set the tone before an actor has said any dialogue. In films director's use color to illustrate different periods in time, to foreshadow an event, and heighten characterizations. Directors use Warm/Cool colors because they mostly fit the theme of the film and they express the emotions and tone in a film. Warm colors represent Happiness, Optimism, and Energy. Cool colors represent Calmness, Soothing energy, and can express sadness. For example, using warm/cool colors in the film IT shows the child's innocence in the film. The three characters for film are Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary. In film the Colorist is responsible for the color in film and is the one who needs to make sure the color represents what's happening in the film.
The goal of the exercise was to create a color wheel semiotic analysis organizer based on Roland Barthes' theory of denotative and connotative signs. At the end of the exercise, we should be able to recognize signs audibly and visually when analyzing media products. To create our media product, we used PowerPoint. On this assignment 3 students worked on creating it. Summa. W, Aley
