Colours in culture

Another extra resource which i have used today is about how different colours  have different meanings in other countries around the world. This became very interesting to me because in the bedroom/workout scene i deliberately used a bedroom with the colour white surrounding it, i did this to add positive connotations to emphasise that this pace is safe and the protagonist is in no real danger. when i made this decision it never occurred to me that white in chinese and hindu represents death!

I also added different colour to the characters Max and Nazo to give negative or positive connotations towards the two characters, Max was wearing a black jacket, black tie, black trousers and black shoes. in western/America black has different meanings such as evil, truce andAuthority which is in contrast to what it means in Asia, in Asia it represents intelligence.

For Max i made him wear a white shirt, Black trousers and white shoes, i chose the colour white to show the audience that he is the main protagonist and that he can be trusted by the audience.
