Image 2- Aristocats

STEP TWO

                The two images I chose are my top two favorite animated movies of ALL TIME, The Jungle Book and Aristocats. These two images popped out to me the most because I can find major similarities in them as well as many differences. In regards to color, these two images are both similar and contrasting at the same time. The main similarity in color that these two images have is the hue and that they both use color schemes, some would argue very similar color schemes. The first image uses an analogous color scheme with green, yellow, orange, and blue—which are all next to each other color wheel. In this image, the color scheme is directly influenced by the background being that they are placed in a jungle; so green dominates the image with all the lush trees and foliage. The orange of the boy character “Mowgli” compliments the green as well as the grey-blue panther “Bagheera”. The second image also uses an analogous color scheme with the essentially the same colors green, yellow, orange, and blue. Where these color schemes differ is the background being that the second image is dominated much more by the color blue. Brightness and saturation differ greatly in these images. The brightness of the first image is profound being that it is set in the dame time. The direction of the light is above the scene shining down on the characters with the hue of the light being yellow. This is shown because the scenery and background that is shown in the light is more yellow in hue where as that which isn’t in the light does not have any yellow. The brightness of the second image is much lower because it is at night; however, the moon is shining directly in front of them—directing the light right towards them providing shape and depth to the whole scene. The source of light shining directly in front of them also provides intense shadows because the shot is behind all the characters in the scene. Saturation differs greatly as well with the first image using much more saturation with light colors where as the second images uses much more value with all the darker toned colors because it is at night. The lighting also sets the mood for the scene in both images. The first image uses much lighting giving an adventurous and energetic mood; even the characters have excited and happy looks on their faces. The second image’s lighting sets a mellow and relaxed mood. Everyone associates night with the winding down of the day and preparing to go to sleep and in this image it is no different. It has a calm and soothing effect to it.
