My Inital Thoughts And Ideas
In this project id like to photograph people as i haven't so far in A2 photography. My first thought when thinking of Discord is posture.. Does the way people stand and move show there emotions?
I then thought of emotions, mainly facial emotions and how colour could affect mood and change the eyes perception of the photograph. For example a photograph of a women standing, with a tint of yellow in the photograph she could appear to be happy but when the tint is changed to red does this change the viewers perception? Does the women now appear to be angry?
Colour Association
Colours are good means to convey emotions. although there is a psychology of colours and some of them have universal emotional effects, in most cases their meanings and culture dependent.
the emotions associated to some colours have a strong cultural component. for example in China death is linked to green while in most other parts of the world death is linked to the colour black. In other contexts green is linked to envy. Red means good luck in China while most others associate it with anger or love..
Colours are typically divided into warm colours and cool colours. Warm being (reds and Oranges) and cool being (blues and greens).
White: purity and cleanness
Black: death, sadness, power and rebellion
Red: danger, excitement, fire and passion
Purple: wealth, royalty, sophistication and intelligence
