AET Week 3 Exploration





The main color schemes are brown, blue, and red. The movie poster produces tones of these colors. Cool colors are present giving the impression of distance. The bottom portion of the movie appears detailed but distant. Additionally, the cooling colors give a calming affect to the poster.  The monochromatic color schemes found are different tones of brown. They assist in producing crisp impressions. The men appear dominant and powerful in character.  Complementary colors are present in the tones of blue and red.  These colors are opposite of the color wheel. In a unique way, they the mood of the poster is amplified producing a very blatant contrast. The achromatic colors are very apparent in the tones of brown. This produces a depressing mood.

The color scheme helps to create the intended mood featured in the poster by offering a sense of power and fear. This is one of the main themes in the movie. The intended mood of the movie is solemn but dominant. This theme is achieved by utilizing cooling colors, complimentary colors, and monochromatic colors.
