2. Moodboard Analysis-
The plot for this short film follows a young man called Aiden who is depressed as he is
colour blind and can only see the colour red, he discovers that contact lenses are being
developed to cure colour blindness and he volunteers to test them out leading to him
being able to see all the colours through his eyes but is this for better or worse?
The moodboard contains many pictures that directly relate to the colour red but also to
the short film itself, I feel that each picture represents an important aspect of the film
and the colour red.
I have chosen four images that relate to eyesight as I feel it is an important element in
the film where eyesight is what allows Aiden to see the colours he desired.
I have also however, included images that help to fortify the many different associations
of red.

3. This image was chosen as it represents
the importance of colour and how we view
the world through it.
The significance here is that colour is
directly linked to your eye and so it can be
considered a persons portal or connection
to the outside world. The eye is an
important theme in my short film as it
plays the role of linking the main character
to the colours of the world.

4. In my short film, Aiden experiences a colour high
that leads to him becoming blind. This is when he
was overwhelmed with colour and became high
and unable to control his desire for it. I felt that this
image helps to show Aiden’s happiest moments
when he was experiencing all the colours during
the highlights of his life.
This image shows a tunnel surrounded by colour
that represents Aiden’s wonderful journey but at
the end of the tunnel is darkness not light.

5. These two images were chosen as they represent darkness and being
blinded without access to colour, this happens to Aiden at the end of the
short film and so I felt these images were appropriate in displaying his
loss.
The use of black and white also suggests a lack of creativity and sense
of blandness that highlights the importance of colour in life, black and
white also helps to portray a dark and depressing tone that matches
Aidens at the end of the short film.

6. This image was chosen as Red is a colour that is often linked with
fire.
Fire can represent many things such as passion and desire as well
as war and destruction. Red can also represent these things and
this image perfectly portrays the veracity, authenticity and vitality
that the element of fire and red are associated with.
In my short film, Aiden (the main character) is blinded by his desire
to see colours but ends up becoming blind, this picture can
represent the destruction of his vision and his burning passion to
obtain his desire for colour.

7. This image shows a blood covered skull that I think represents
death which is a popular association to the colour red. This
relates to the story as at the end when Aiden is blinded it could be
considered his death as their is a significant loss of what he
desired the most.
The red blood covering the skull could also represent Aiden’s
longing and desire for red when he is blind as his head is filled
with thoughts of red similar to how the red is covering the skull.
