Here is a small project that me and my friends worked on last year
Colors have great importance in our lives. To express our feelings, we use colors as a sign. Moreover, these colors have a great impact on our mood and feeling. We use to wear and prefer colors as per our mood. Sometimes to beat a specific feeling or mood, colors help us a lot. On the other hand, to demonstrate a number of situations and signs, colors are the best source.
Just like our daily life, in the film production colors have a great impact and role. In a scene or set composition, the director and director of photography along with the set designer, have to consider the colors at large. As a supportive factor, it helps to explain a scene to the audience. For the film screen technicians, it is necessary to focus on the colors and their composition on screen.
For centuries colors have been an important part of people's lives. Modern day researches study color psychology across cultures as they affect people's expressions of feelings and emotions by attaching meaning to different colors. They tend to remind people about their favorite traditions, the time of the year, or a special place. They affect heavily on the way how you feel.
If we dive down to the color psychology of rainbow colors, we can see every aspect of these colors relate to human emotions or their culture. For Example,
