Up

From the moment you start watching up it can be seen that the design of colour has been thought about throughout. The opening sequence of this film clearly incorporates how colour can be used to lead the viewer through the film and create a emotional impact.The colour script  follows a formulated theme as the film progresses through this sequence showing how as Carl meets Ellie his world is lit up in colour but as shee grows ill and passes away the colour is withdrawn from the shots and it becomes very desaturated emphasizing the way his emotions have changed.It is only when Russel enters carls house that the colour is placed back on the film representing the way Russel brings the light back into Carls life. Pixar didn't do this by accident it is only y clear design that they are able to do this and by doing so they can create a emotional connection to the viewer getting into the audiences mind.



As well as a clear emphasis on the colour scripts within there films it is also seen that colour proportion is used to a great effect.By Pixar selecting specific colours and amounts of colour they are able to create a focus within there shots and lead the eye of the viewer as seen in the image below.By having all the background as a similar blue and the house as a much more brighter and bold set of colours this allows the smalls but intense amount of colour on the house to pop out from the background.This is all due to the colour proportion within the image and the way the small amount of saturated colour allows it to become the focal point.Without this the scene would become very flat and not interesting in the slightest but by having this slant  in the colour balance it really brings out the interesting areas with it.
