Color Theory Role

Since colors may be used to immediately connect our film to the second CCR question, "How does your product engage with audiences and how would it be distributed as a real media text?" I became aware of this as we spoke about the setting for our film.   I have thus been concentrating on how to use of color to improve visual storytelling as part of my investigation into cinematography. After viewing the educational video about color theory in movies from Studio Binder 

 

I now see how important it is to understand how hue, brightness, and saturation relate.  

My conclusion is that hue is a significant tool for establishing mood and evoking feelings; it's not just about visuals.   The film's color palette is built around hue, which also creates visual consistency.   I may create a particular mood or setting by carefully choosing the colors.

The entire feeling is greatly influenced by brightness, or value. I now understand how adjusting brightness may provide dramatic contrast, grabbing the viewer's attention and highlighting particular aspects of the picture.   While a darker palette might offer mystery or suspense, a lighter palette can communicate optimism and joy.

Lastly, the secret for handling color intensity is saturation. Increasing the saturation makes colors bright and vivid, drawing the eye right away. Desaturating colors, on the other hand, provide a softer, more muted appearance that could evoke calm or nostalgia. I have exact control over each scene's visual effect thanks to my knowledge of saturation.

I'm sure I can give the film a more cinematic look and greatly improve the visual narrative by using the color theory concepts of hue, brightness, and saturation. I believe intentionally using color will improve my work's emotional effect in addition to making it more visually pleasing.
