작가주의 감독 웨스 앤더슨 영화에 표현된 노랑의 상징성

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to consider the symbolic messages that the director Wes Anderson strives to express through the color yellow, by analyzing the main works by this director and then drawing the images of yellow color shown in each film and the director’s characteristic methods to express the color yellow. The images of yellow color shown in his films included meanings such as ability and confidence, curiosity and exploration, trust, falsehood, purity, wealth, decline, and resistance. The director’s characteristic expression of yellow color included the use of a sequence with yellow-colored titles for the delivery of genre, utilization of a yellow-colored arrangement suggesting the emotions and situations of characters, use of yellow-colored props for the presentation of background, and the utilization of yellow color for films’ endings meaning the warm conclusion. Thus, director Wes Anderson was delivering a common message in which the characters would find the maturity and stability within their family and colleagues after overcoming their own deficiencies and going through adventure and challenges. This study could be effectively used for understanding the meanings of colors expressed in films as visual arts and also for interpreting the director’s messages.
