Moving from task two, my experiments for this task were explored based on how do colours affect the way audience view a piece of media; and how do colours create emotion to a media piece.

For the first and second experiment, I used cellophane papers covering my camera to see if these colours can bring any emotion to the subject I shoot. When I look at the videos, the clips were seemed to play in slow motion or like a scene from an old film. At this stage, it was clear that colours will definitely create something different to what we see with naked eyes. I think the problem would be in the background because there are too many things going on at Federation square, so for the second experiment, I changed the background to full-color background matching up with the cellophane papers. I was quite satisfied with this experiment as it has started to demonstrate how colours can create emotion and feelings to viewers. But I was not so satisfied because the emotions didn’t differ by the change of colours, for example, the dark blue colours create a sense of mysteriousness and so does the other colours.

I was quite satisfied with the result because it has started to demonstrate how colours can create emotion and feelings to viewers. But I was also not so satisfied because the emotions didn’t differ by the change of colours. The third experiment I have worked with post production because I was thinking during the filming that colours on cellophane paper are too dark which I didn’t really like it at the very beginning. I have edited two versions: the first version has the similar effect to cellophane paper (SHOW PICTURE), the difference is I filmed at white background.

Final project:

Moving along to the final project, I haven’t decided what more I want to explore based on the idea of colours and emotions, so I went back to look at what has prompted me to look at colours. And it was what I could feel as an audience from the photographs I took for last assignment was quite the opposite to what I can feel at that place. The running; shouting; sweating I heard and I felt from that location was being softened by the cold green colour tone. For the last project, I think I might want to explore how colors might create feelings or emotions is opposite to the subject’s actual feeling or emotion. For example, a hot sunny day, if I adjust the colour tone, will it look like a sunny day but in cold weather?
