This scene is from the movie Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End. This image encompasses many attributes of color. The first of these is the desaturation evident in the color scheme. Desaturation has caused this scene to become low definition and has allowed the viewer to become more emotionally invested. Desaturation is done most commonly with white pigment that gives scenes a washed out look. This scene, however, is desaturated with black. Obviously, it is possible to do this and it works with the overall mood and plot of the movie. In fact, the color scheme of the movie as a whole is pretty consistent. If the colors were bright and highly saturated the atmosphere and mood would be changed, and not perhaps for the better.
The second attribute that was evident was the level of energy of the hues present. This goes hand in hand with the saturation of the scene. Because of the low definition of the scene, caused by the low saturation, the energy of this scene is low. This implies that the contrast is also not that high. I thought in this respect however, the scene was different than most movies I've experienced. I liked, and chose, this scene because in most movies I've seen, the background is a darker color with an object that is bright and highly saturated in the foreground. This seems like a directional technique because the viewer is automatically drawn the brightened object. However, in this case, I thought this concept operated in reverse. The background was a lighter color, even going so far as having a ring of lighter color that emanates from the ship in the water, and the ship itself is black. Upon viewing it, the ship is the first thing I noticed.
The informational aspect of a scene is the ability to distinguish among objects through the use of colors an in turn have a certain sense of clarity. This invokes the use of color harmony, which is the balance of color energies. In this particular example, the sky, the water, and the ship are all clearly separate entities. Therefore, there exists not only a good color harmony, but the viewer is also granted clarity. I liked how they managed to stay within the same color scheme but yet have variances that separated, and characterized each object.
In this scene, the color creates the event. There exists no other action, such as dialogues among characters, that exists. It is the principle event. When scanning the image from left to right you first see the ship, then the sky, and then the surrounding water. One can admire the vastness of the area around the ship, which serves as the focal point. The hues used in this scene and others throughout the film, definitely set a certain mood and atmosphere. It invokes emotions in the audience, something I believe that highly saturated and bright scheme would not be able to do effectively.
