COLOUR PSYCHOLOGY

 COLOUR IS MORE THAN JUST A VISUAL ELEMENT -- IT'S A LANGUAGE THAT SPEAKS DIRECTLY TO OUR EMOTIONS. IN FILMS EVERY SHADE AND TONE IS CHOSEN CAREFULLY TO GUIDE HOW THE AUDIENCE FEELS ABOUT A SCENE OR CHARACTER.

RED OFTEN REPRESENTS DANGER , PASSION , OR INTENSITY. IT GRABS ATTENTION INSTANTLY.🟥

BLUE BRINGS CALMNESS OR SADNESS.🟦

GREEN CAN SYMBOLISE GROWTH , ENVY , OR EVEN MYSTORY DEPENDING ON LIGHTING AND CONTRAST.🟩

YELLOW GIVES WARMTH AND HAPINESS BUT , IN THRILLERS CAN FEEL UNSETTLING WHEN MIXED WITH SHADOWS.🟨
