This week we finally moved onto a new topic to use, audio and video editing. We had to make a slideshow with color, which i guess is as a small Color Theory review. This was actually really fun, since we had to think of a way to show a change in each of the images. I did this by using green, I transitioned from an urban green setting, to a more natural and alien like green setting, and making the images faster for tension to make the video more interesting. I think this is a bit like the logos we had to make, since this is so open-ended and varies from person to person. But, I took too long trying to find pictures, I even took a work day just to choose a color. So, the extra thing of uploading the video to YouTube, since i'm still assembling the slideshow. So, we have to work FAST on the assignments we have now. But, I'm just going to have to keep up. Well, let's research, say, color movies? But, it's pretty hard to tell where color movies originated because, well, color was developed in certain parts. Also, many movies are still made in black and white, so we should see where Technicolor originated in 1915, but it was just a fad, just like talking in films a before they were a thing. But, after WWII, it was widely accepted by the public. So, a bunch more innovation, including color theory, we have color today. So, what did we learn?

So, we are now learning about the use of color in visual art. But, nobody really "invented" the concept of seeing color as symbolism, well, maybe, but not overall. So, I'm going to research what the absence of color could symbolize.
People know that black, white, and sometimes gray aren't always on the color wheel. They might be on the very edge of a hue of a color, but this is really it. This is because they are special colors that are almost different by themselves, this makes it so any base color could show up in black or white. So, how does this show up in it's more symbolic view? Most people think of black and white as good and evil, or as something and the absence of such. But, as a design element, it is used to represent good and bad. This is self-explanatory, dress the bad guy black and the good guy white. But, that is one of the superficial representations. If you use black and white in, say, in a drawing or animation, it gives a feeling of simplicity or "amateurish" quality. It could also be a cop out for colors, but simplicity is a composition rule, so, if used correctly, it works. Black and white is also very vintage, most old photos and movies were in black and white, so it evokes an old sense. This is why most people still make black and white photos, to evoke a sense of timeless classic-ness. Black and white also has a use with other colors, this could be good and bad morality. But, the more creative use is to emphasize one color, like a black and white film having a little bit of red, mainly for blood, lipstick, or balloons. This makes it much more standout, which has more symbolism, like violence, romance, or simple interactions. What did we learn from this?
