Introduction to Color in Film Preliminary Exercise 5: cool colors

The objective of this lesson was for students to create a color wheel Semiotic Analysis Organizer based on Roland Barthes' Theory of Denotative and Connotative signs. Color in the film is the effect of the majority of everything we see in the frame. Color affects us emotionally and psychologically half of the time we don't even notice. Pink often symbolizes compassion, nurturing, and love. Storys usually have a protagonist, the main character, and sometimes a hero. In films, there is a colorist who is responsible for color in film.

Students should use the vocabulary from the lesson to create slides using PowerPoint to analyze the meaning of colors in the film. In pairs, students researched and picked out 9 different frames from selected movie themes/ genres, and mise en scene-focused codes to analyze. Students JF and TM both had the same responsibility and did an equal amount of work. We used Digital media such as websites to help complete this exercise.
