In Edward Scissorhands In the beginning of the film the town that peg lives in all bright and full of color and everything is happy. But then you see the mansion Edward lives in and its all dark and dull so it gives a creepy feeling about the film.

Throughout the course of the Wonderful Wizard of Oz L. Frank Baum implements the use of colors in order to give the readers a sense of urgency whether it symbolizes the danger of the situation which Dorothy and her group are facing or it simply represents the different people in the land of Oz, as they are all very different. Color also plays an important part in both the setting and tone of the story. From the very beginning L. Frank Baum uses colors to highlight the sharp contrast between the land of Oz and Kansas he does so by describing Kansas as a dull, and life less gray place as opposed to the vibrant and colorful Oz, not only did he highlight physical changes but by describing these two very different places the author also manages
To begin, Tim Burton uses lighting to send the mixed emotions of child like with darkness. Examples of lighting come from the two movies Edward Scissorhands and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. In the movie Edward Scissorhands, Tim Burton uses a mix of lighting on Edward. At happier times,when Edward is performing haircuts, the lighting is high key and has a front lighting the face of Edward. This portrays Edward is good although Tim Burton contradicted this decision later showing that Edward is somewhat of an criminal. For example, low key and bottom lighting were used when Edward is walking towards the police as if to seem that he is a criminal. This shows how Tim Burton uses his mixed emotions to make the audience not know what to think of Edward. In Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the outside
You would think that the colors would indicate the characters bright and bubbly personality, however that is not the case. When you watch Edward Scissorhands, you will notice that Edward is probably seen as a bad guy, especially when he lives in a scary looking dark castle and he’s wearing dark leather clothes, but Edward is probably one of the nicest people in the neighbourhood. Usually the people wearing the bright colors were rude
He uses colour to make connections between characters and to help the audience understand the scene in more detail. There are two films in particular where M. Night Shyamalan uses these two features to full effect. The first film that uses these features to full effect is The Village. The Village in particular uses colour very well to give
Not only does Burton use specific shots and frames to “show” the story, but he uses them to enhance the characteristics of unnatural characters. Tim Burton uses a long shot in the scene where fifteen foot giant, Karl, realigns Jennifer's house under Edward Bloom’s direction. This decision to use a long shot was effective because it gave the audience a good sense of how tall Karl was, how strong Karl was, and how helpful Karl could be. Despite the fact that the house should have fallen apart when Karl pushed it back in alignment because of the poor structure and foundation, the long shot illustrates how magical, and fantacious this story is. Tim Burton also uses this technique in another one of his films in order to, again, develop his fictitious characters and create a sense of an out-of-this-world setting.
In "The Wizard of Oz" Frank Baum makes use of color throughout the story for theming. We start off with Dorothy living with her gray aunt and uncle in a gray house on a gray plain. The gray color scheming only adds to show how bleak and lifeless it is there with no people or towns nearby. It is so bleak that it seems to steal away color and life from anyone or anything there, such as the house and Dorothy's aunt and uncle. Only Toto, Dorothy's dog, and Dorothy herself have not yet lost their color, being so full of life that they would often cheer up her aunt and uncle.
As said before, Tim Burton’s movies have a dark undertone to them, which means the palette of colors he uses are very limited to deeper shades. For example, In the Corpse Bride, the lighting of the building and the streets are all gray while the people in the town look very pale. This creates a dreary and depressing mood. But when the main character crosses to the world of the dead by a corpse bride kidnapping him, we are hit with warm pink, green and other bright colors. These vibrant colors show the lightness of the atmosphere compared to the world of the living.
L. Frank Baum uses colors throughout the novel "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz." Color plays a very important role in this fairy tale. Other than playing an important role, the colors allow the audience to interpret symbolism in a different way. The colors' symbolism also gives a deeper meaning to the text itself. In this novel particularly, color is used in plenty of different ways to emphasize, interpret, symbolize, etc.
...he movie that may seem small, but after realizing how much the colors present themselves throughout the movie, they are hard to miss such as Scottie’s red door or Madeline’s green car. Although it is normally Madeline in the color green, it is especially eye catching when Scottie is now the one wearing green in the apartment scene while Madeline on the other hand is wearing a red robe which is the color associated with all of his fantasies.
From the start of the film it is apparent what time frame it is taking place in and the differences in the social stratification through the lack of colors. One of the most obvious portrayals of the bleakness and desperation of the era is the overall faded and washed-out look of the whole film, due to manipulation of the film saturation; the heaviness of it almost cries out to the audience. Though the film was shot during the summer, cinematographer Roger Deakins and Cinesite colorist Julias Friede were able to use digital technology to change the appearance of the colors. “Together, they worked on manipulating the [digital] saturation of the images, and in particular selecting the greens of the trees and grass and turning them into dry browns and yellows” (Escaping, 2). These dry brown and yellows enhance the audience’s impression of the desperation of the characters and the time period.
The colors in the colors are dulled which I feel helps to create this mood of
Why are colours important when trying to symbolize what is taking place in the mind of the setting and the characters of literature? Tennessee Williams have once said “ Symbols are nothing but the natural of drama the purest languages of play.” Tennessee William has exactly used symbolism and colour quite effectively in his play A Streetcar Named Desire. An impressive story about fading southern belle Blanche Dubois and her failure into insanity. A Streetcar Named Desire consists many symbolism and knowledgeable use of colour. This helps the audience to connect scenes and events to the themes and issues that Williams presents within the play, just as desire and death, and the conflict between the past and present of America. The significance of colours is a central theme in Tennessee Williams’ A Streetcar Named Desire; the author uses colours to reflect states of mind, make further commentary on particular characters, and what sorts of things specific colours represent.
