In the lessons colour I learnt that colour can be used to signify emotions of characters, such as the inside of Jack's jacket in the shining, which is red, which surly is a symbol of the rage and anger building internally inside of Jack. I've also learnt that it can also signify and form the basis of a frame of reference within a film, such as the colour's of red and green within Blow-Up, where green represents the basis of 'true' living' and red the pretentious guises that people can put on life.
The use of props, sets, camera filters, lighting gels and lighting heat all contribute the harnessing of colour for creation of meaning.
