Colors in La La Land
This video talks about how colors are used in the movie La La Land to convey emotions and tell parts of the story.
The speaker, Lawrence, starts the video with Mia wearing a blue coat, then transitions to a red dress. This is to show the transformation of Mia’s dream. Blue is associated with her stable life while red represents her passion for acting.
The director Damien Chazelle uses colors throughout the movie to represent different things. For example, green is used for key moments in the central relationship between Mia and Seb. Purple is used when they are most intimately connected.
The speaker also talks about how the use of colors in movies has changed throughout time. Modern films tend to use bland washed-out tones while older movies used richer colors. La La Land uses vibrant colors to emulate an old Hollywood style.
Here are some of the key points about how colors are used in La La Land:
Red: Dreams, passion
Blue: Stable life, reality
Purple: Relationship, connection
Green: Key moments in the relationship
The speaker concludes the video by mentioning that the final scene uses a combination of red and blue lights to show that the characters have achieved their dreams. Purple light is used when Mia acknowledges Seb at the end. This signifies their connection throughout the journey.
