We were asked to choose two colours, one to relate to a film genre and one that does not fit the usual style. This had to be done using a Pantone Colour Swatch
Horror
In a group we decided that Red reminds us of blood and death like you would see in a horror film. Bright green is one that you maybe wouldn't associate to the horror genre as it's not exactly scary it's more of a bright and happy colour.
Mystery
I picked a shade of black not quite fully black for mystery as it reminds me of a sort of Film Noire styled picture. The Blue is more of a hopeful colour it doesn't really make you wonder it sort of tells you what you're in for whereas grey through to black doesn't give anything away.
Sci-Fi
We chose Purple because as a genre Sci-Fi features a lot of mystery and includes a lot of the unknown. Mainly space, the colours in space are vast, beautiful and usually centre around purple blue and pink. The only time you would see yellow in a Sci-Fi film is if you were looking at fire as in a star or a rocket launch. If you're thinking about the vast space usually featured in the genre you wouldn't just think the black nothingness you would think of the galaxies planets and stars.
Western
Western is usually based about 100 years in the past in the Wild West of America. This then makes you think of old, sepia tones empty brown desserts not green lush countryside. Dirt roads and tracks would usually feature to put you back in the time it's meant to be set not green scenery you would see while driving through the Yorkshire Dales.
