This year, I have attended to many movie classes. At there, in one class, I have learned the importance of light and shadow. This will deepen movies impression, and this can also be said to drawings, paintings, pictures and scenery. Some people have a problem that they cannot see the scenery three-dimensionally if there were no shadow in the scenery.
I understand this, but what about color? If there were only light and shadow, it would be only white, gray, and black, and that must be a boring world. I was not taught the importance of color in the movie classes, but it seems to me that color have essensial meaning in this world. If you always wear black clothes and living in a room with black wall without many light, can you be happy or be a kind person? It seems difficult for me. Therefore, I really think color have a very powerful meaning connected to our mind.
We use "iro" in Japanese as some romance. There is a statistics that people who wear colored clothes are more likely to have partner than those who wears only black and white. Also some people says that they can know peoples character by knowing the color that they prefer. Men those who wear pink is said to have confidence. Moreover, some people says that color have a special power to cure peoples illness. For example, some hospital's walls are pink or green to reduce patients fear and pain. White is said to be bright but it sometimes stresses our mind.
I think that light and shadow are also important and deeply related to color. It is strange that we all have different skin color,and also various hair color. Most Japanese are kind of people who have both light and shadow in our bodies because our hair is black which expresses shadow and we have yellow skin, which can be said as light. Many white blond women says they cannot get out without putting mascara because their eyelash is also blond so their face looks flat because there are no black, shadow part. So they make shadow with make up.
Thinking of color, there is no end, and it seems to be very interesting for me.I want to know more about them. Thank you for reading my blog.
You might be taking the same class I took in my first year. Is it Mr.Duff's intensive class?
ReplyDeleteI also think that the impressions of different colours are very interesting, and I think they have a very strong relationship to our daily life too. When I feel down I tend to choose colourful clothes that cheer me up!
I hope you can find black and white movies that you like too! (Mai Takagi)
Hi, this is Ms. MacGregor. Your discussion above is certainly interesting. What colors do you prefer? As for me, I think pink looks good on me, and also black and white and other strong colours such as red and deep purple. They match the colour of my skin and my hair, so that is why I tend to prefer them. I agree that we need shadows to give us definition and also colours to make our lives varied. Flowers are a good example. So is food. It is a good subject to think about. Thank you for bringing it up in your blog.
ReplyDeleteI always think that color has big relationship with our lives because we can realize many colors in our eyes. When we feel sad, most of us imagine blue or dark color naturally, but some guys may think about different colors. That is tosay, the color situation just changes our feelings and lives.

I heard that our appetite is related to colors. If we see something blue, our feeling of eating will decrease. As we can see from this example, not only feelings but also physiological phenomenon is affected by colors. I'm now interested in colors as well! want to learn more about it!!

It is very interesting! I've heard that when people see green, people will started to fill safety. Also, if you see a green board before an eyesight test, you can get a better eyesight! Therefore, color related to our body, not only to our mind. This is very interesting subject. And we should discuss this topic!

I think colors are important thing to think about, but I just think that light and shadows are more important than colors. Colors and lights are closely related. Simply, more lights = brighter color. Any color, like red or blue, can be white or black, depending on amounts of lights. If there is zero light, any color is going to be black.
