Visual Culture this week focused on the idea of Colour Theory, also it's representation within art and as well as the world. In our more focused lecture we went more into topics such as colonialism which then followed into discussions on slavery and ownership over cultures. Colour in films is a huge talking point, it has such an impact on how we subconsciously feel and think about certain images were seeing, weather its a complete overkill of colours and a lack thereof, were always influenced by them.
Many a times colour has being used as symbolism in films, to suggest or imply certain actions or meanings to characters and objects in the frame. When were thinking of making films, colour should not be something we skip over, theres so much choice with it coming to different colour filters or using different film stock to get a new interesting look, this is an important part of pre-production. This is the first week out of four where we will be basing one of the topics from the first four weeks to be our final piece for the lesson. I'm still undecided on what I want to do for this piece but I'm thinking of different ways I can produce something that plays to my strengths but stands out and doesn't look effortless. I'm hoping maybe I'll be more inspired by the upcoming lectures and might give me a better context or better material to produce something with.
