Mise en Scene and Colour 2

Colour
Colour can be used to not only decipher what is flashback and what is not, but it can be used to highlight the morality in our film. There is a lot of discussion about the use of colour in 'Amelie', for example, suggestions that the colour blue is used to indicate happiness. In this style we could use different colours to pinpoint when the protagonist is acting moraly wrong or morally right in the flashback sequences.
'Run Lola Run' shows repetition of the colour red throughout the film.





The red acts as an indicator of importance moments and objects in the film. It can be argued that they act as checkpoints in Lola's journey to save her boyfriend, with red being shown when she has to make decisions.
I think we should take influence from this.
