Week 5 - Spirit Stallion Of The Cimarron



Spirit Stallion of the Cimarron is an animated film about a horse that gets taken away from its herd. Many humans try to break him but no matter what happens Spirit stays strong until he can be reunited with his family.
The film uses a lot of yellows and greens since most the time he's either in grasslands or desert.
The first picture shows the beginning of the film. The bright colours make the scene feel very happy, and the blues and greens show that the area is rich and healthy. Spirit is a tanned horse, showing off yellow fur and darker mane and legs. He is much brighter then the rest of the pack to show that he is the dominant strong leader.
The second picture shows a darker moment in the film, the scene when spirit gets captured. All the colours in the scene are very shaded, bringing the general mood of the film down. There is also a lot more darker colours then lighter, maybe indicating that spirit might loose the fight. Although, in this picture, spirit is above the enemy showing that he's still fighting for his freedom.
The third image shows a love scene between spirit and rain. The bright yellow sunlight in the background gives a sort of heavenly mood to the scene. The very light blue lake also makes the scene feel quite pleasant  especially with the water lilies too. I like how the whole scene is done in tinted pastel type colours, making it look every calming.
In this last picture, it shows spirit running away from a forest fire. The scene shows a bit of dark forest but mainly highly saturated reds and yellow from the flames. This makes the scene feel very dangerous and worrying. The flames also highlight half of spirit, making him seem like he's being over come by this force of nature. The scene makes the viewer feel nervous and edgy, worrying about what's going to happen next.
