Joran Peele’s recent rise to fame with his highly commended ‘Get Out’, has led him on the cusp of ‘life success’ being awarded best original screenplay at the 2018 Oscars. ‘Get Out’ highlights many cardinal and sophisticated ideas that are expressed through modern techniques, that complement Peele’s directorial style of tackling real world social issues.

The director plays on the physical setting of the party, to not only express the horrors of being culturally different but rather contrasts how societal colour and costume colour work together to outline modern day racism in a unique way. The director describes ‘Get Out’ as a ‘textbook for white people’, where Peele wanted to make white people not only understand but experience the way racism impacts the people around them as well as showing how black lives social situations are actually taken seriously. Peele takes this principle of racism and uses colour in the form of costuming/clothing to highlight this idea. As an audience, we recognise the party gusts dressed dissimilar to that of Chris. The use of colours like blacks, reds and whites, are worn by the guests, whereas Chris wears Blue. The directors use of clothing, is nothing less than coincidence, but really highlights how segregated Chris really is at this party, as he does not match the rest of the guests. The powerful use of colour by the director, is the start of the prejudice which Chris is now drawn upon. Not only is Chris visually a subject of segregation, but as the party developments, Chris who is revealed to the audience as a sympathetic, quiet and developed character is verbally discriminated by nasty comments. Peels applies current social fears in the eyes of micro-aggressions, to explore white people’s anxieties in a community of colour. The narration of the party guests validates Peele’s ideas of “no matter what race we are, we are all one animal”. This is done using microaggressions; innocuous comments or gestures, used to target minorities as a way of dismissing or degrading
