What is this color psychology that international film cinematographers refer to?
Vittorio Storaro who won two Oscar Awards went absent for two years to study colors. When asked why he left cinematography, he said, I want to know about colors. I know nothing about them. He commented it after winning two academy awards. That shows how important to know about colors. Each color has its own language. For Hindus, Saffron is the scared symbol. For Muslims, green is the sacred. Each culture has its own symbolic color language. Hence cinematographers like Vittorio have started using Color psychology extensively to highlight the mood of the film. He has used it for Little Buddha. In India no one cares about this but I am trying to put in application. How much film schools help in learning film cinematography? A lot. Film Schools help you getting in channelised knowledge. With proper syllabus and exposure to great cinema, you learn a lot not only about cinematography but also about all the crafts about filmmaking. You may learn the craft if you assist an established cinemato
