Abstract: (108 Views) |
One of the important visual elements in creating a better and more effective connection between works of art and the audience is the element of color, which we have witnessed in cinema with a slight delay. Color, which has been prominent in the works of contemporary artists for centuries since the beginning of the creation of works of art by cavemen to this day, is now used by directors in the seventh art in order to directly influence the psyche of the audience. This type of cinematic view of color and its use in characterizing and creating space for communicating and transmitting symbolic, psychological, and perceptual concepts to the audience has been successful. The present study, which is fundamental in nature and conducted in a descriptive-analytical manner, seeks to analyze and explore the effects of color in the cinema of "Akira Kurosawa" and especially the" Dodes'ka-den" (1970), as his first full-color film, which is considered the beginning of the director's second period of filmmaking, and the powerful effect of color in characterizing, creating space, and creating temporal and spatial situations in the creation of this work has been studied. The results of the research show that color is used effectively in the film Dodeskan as a main and powerful element for character development, separating the imaginary world from the real world, and creating specific temporal situations.
