This is my moodboard about the colour red of which we will create our film about.
It is important to remember that with different reds become different connations.

Red can symbolise intensity, passion and invocation. Red also has different meanings in different countries in India the colour red represents purity and intergrity this is why Inidan brides wear red although in china red symbolises celebration and goodluck and in South Africa red is seen as the colour of mourning.. The color is audacious, so it usually dilutes the colors around it. For this reason it’s used to accent and highlight objects of importance.The colour is used in advertising this is because the colour is eye catching and appetizing promoting the product to the audiences full attention.

Associatons of the colour red


The Red Rose


Oh, my luve's like a red, red rose,
That 's newly sprung in June;
Oh, my luve's like the melodie
That's sweetly played in tune."
-Robert Burns


The red rose had become a metaphor of passion and love.It is one of the most eternal symbols for love and admiration, it's no surprise that red roses are among the most admired and evocative of all the flowers. The charisma of the red rose has been a source of immense inspiration for many throughout the ages. However, it is as the symbol for love that the red rose is most commonly recognized.


Blood


When we think of the colour red one of the connations we recieve is the scarlet red of blood. Death and the gloriness of it is now a recongised as one of the main connations of the colour red.



This is a song called Whitehouses by Vanessa Carton which directly refers to blood. The song is all aboutdanger another connation of red however directly refers to the danger of youth, the story starts with a young couple who are in love and their time spent together. The lyrics talk about achohol and the corruption it has on the mind which also links to the colour red. Some time passes and the couple are in a car and are "going way to fast" the pace of the car ride is also reflective of the fast pace of their relationship.

Last night I heard the screaming

My...First...Child

Hard to explain

With the rush of Blood

And..A little bit of pain

All on a cloudy day

It's more common then you think

It's...My...First...Mistake





The girl then begins to talk about losing her virginity introducing a theme of blood, pain and lose of innocence. We character talks about how her relationship was rushed and now is stuck with a child introducing a theme of growth.
