Colour

The psychological resonance of certain colours is as much a tool to create mood or feel as any camera techniques. In Steven Spielburg's movies, he uses blue light for the colour scheme of a film alot. For example, in A.I. Artificial Intelligence; the director uses blue light to symbolize the robots' emotionless and coldness. Also the science and technology and future significance makes the viewer feel the coolness. This make the audiences feel robots dont have human emotions and love.



Saving Private Ryan
This scene was shot on a beach, from the movie Saving Private Ryan. It describes how the USA troops were landing on the beach to try and ambush the german troops. The colour blue is used here as a main colour not only because of the ocean and sky, but also because it is often used to descirbe calmness. Although the soldiers are actually feeling very frightened, they must calm their emotions down in order to accomplish the dangerous mission at hand. The blue makes the audience feel the cold-heartedness of the war. This is done by not only the soldiers' actions but also the blue background.
