Colour Theory Part Two (Examples)
In this blog post I
will be showing some examples of colour theory; primary, secondary,
tertiary, analogues and complementary.
Firstly, as much as I despise the character “Superman”, I must admit that he is the perfect embodiment of primary colours. Providing the example of the film poster for Superman Returns, his outfit consists of red, yellow and blue set at full saturation.
The image of secondary colours is another superhero, “The Incredible Hulk”. Even though I tried to search for a movie poster that included all three colours (purple, orange, green), it seemed next to impossible. The Hulk comic books however were a prime example that related to this colour theory.
In my third example I show the use of tertiary colours in the film poster “Smokin' Aces”, this poster uses the colours; azure, light orange, violet, rose, and a darkened chartreuse. The colours are almost entirely evenly spread out, much like the odds of the characters in the films premise.
Example four features a fan made poster for the film “Bronson”, a bio-pic of the British convict Charles Bronson. The colours in this image do line up, however they may be a tad too dark for the regular colour wheel, yet the principle is there. The colours range from very dark orange (brown?) to very light/faded orange.
Complementary
The final image uses
complementary colours. The image is of Eric Bana portraying the famed
Australian criminal Chopper Read in the film “Chopper”. The film
had many colourfully tinted shots, this one in particular shows the
juxtaposition of the lighting at the bar in the background.
