Each of these pictures from the movie “Up” has a different emotion and look. The first picture is a picture that is from Carl’s past. It is of him and Ellie when they were children. The hue has many browns that are represented in the dark wood paneling behind Ellie.  The greens and yellows of the children’s clothing add to the dark musty coloring represented in the picture. The brightness is low and dim. The darkness of the coloring also adds to the reason why the brightness is so low. There are hardly no bright colors in the picture. The saturation is medium. Its not totally unsaturated but the colors are not saturated enough that the vibrate off the frame. Many shadows are used to give the room depth. Ellie has shadows on her face from her crazy hair above her. The mood of the scene is adventure and curiosity. The next picture of Ellie and Carl is very bright, airy and vibrant. The hue has has a lot of greens and whites. The picture is very bright and light because the sun is shining down above them. The light is also high because the scene takes place outdoors. The saturation is very high. The colors pop out and are vibrant. Many pinks, greens, whites and blues are saturated to give a happy mood. The picture has little shadows. There is a small shadow on the mailbox because of the placement of the sun. There is also a shadow on the house behind Ellie and Carl because of the placement of the sun. Shadows have been created on Carl’s face from his large glasses. These placements of shadows give depth and make the scene more realistic looking. This scene is opposite look of the one before it because of the amount of light and the amount of saturation. Even though it involves the same characters years later, the difference in the lighting and mood is very large. Also the first picture was set on the inside of a building and this second one is set in the front yard of there new house. The mood given in the scene is a mood of stress free, happy, light, care free and natural.
