The two images I chose are from “Toy
Story 3” and the first one is Woody and Buzz talking to the rest of the toys in
a box, which I well from hence forth call image 1. The second image is at the
end of the movie, with the toys new owners standing in front of her house with
all the toys, and we’ll be called image II.
In Both
images color is used very effectively to draw the eye, in particular,
brightness of color. In image 1 the color of the box and our figures are much brighter
and saturated then the dark background of the car, leading our eye to look at
the characters and ignore the background of the car. Woody is also framed in
the window, helping us to draw our attention to him. This is also used in image
II of the light shining throe the tree’s on the little girl and the toys, again
drawing our attention to her with bright saturated colors, while having us ignore
her surroundings by using darker and more desaturated colors. The brightness
created by the sun also help frame this picture by creating a box around our
characters using the light, the walls and the front step of the porch.
In
image 1 the name of the locations our characters are going to is written on the
side of the box, Sunny side. This is definitely a symbol for the location they
are going, as it suggests someplace happy. In addition, everyone in the image is
happy with the exception of woody, the only one not touching the box, further
suggesting that Sunnyside is a happy place. However the black letters on the box
and all the brown tones suggest that Sunnyside is not as happy of a place as we
first imagined it. While in image II the girl has a more neutral face, but the
background of yellow suggests that this place really well be happy because
yellow is the same color of the sun, which references Sunnyside. This is also
further reinforced by the plants in each corner of the image, and the sunlight shining
down on our characters in the frame.
