The Use of Color

Image
            In Psychosis, there are many examples of color use. The vibrant green in the background shows joy and happiness. Green is one of the colors of joy and is generally seen as the "right" color, or seen in a positive light, showing how the world is happy and joyful. Another color seen is Milo's hoodie. The deep blue contrasts with the surrounding the environment. Giving a center of calm in the over-exciting world. Essentially, he represents peace in the storm.     To continue with color, we move onto the props. Like the purple drink on the table, the color of mystery and delusion. This is a small hint to the odd world. Along with the colors fading when Tristain (Renamed from Faelon), these colors show how the world isn't what it seems and shows a new point of view when we see that it isn't actually the world we know.

Supporting Character Analysis

  Demitrius:       Demitrius is one of the people Faelon makes up in his head. Him along with the other supporting characters fit the role of the helper in Valdimir's analysis since they seem to try and help him.      He is the tallest out of the group with dark features as well, he also wears common streetwear and wears a woven bracelet. He is a stable person and like to playfully fight with those close to him. He is motivated by adventure and the fun that can be had. Milo:     Milo is another of Faelon's delusions. He also fits into the helper role with Salem and Demitrius since he seems to be concerned with the wellbeing of his friends and offers solutions to a problem or fight, they seem to have.     Milo is the shortest of the four with dark hair, skin, and eyes wearing modest clothing along with a pale sweater to give a softer look. He is a stable and nurturing person by nature. He is motivated by taking care of others an...

Main Character Analysis: Faelon

Image
       The story of Psychosis revolves around the events in the character Faelon's experience with mental illnesses. The character type he most closely is involved with in Vladimir Popps analysis is the hero. The movie opener is showing how he first realizes the world he knows was a figment of his imagination. Some of Faelon's most noticable features include his dark skin, hair, and eyes. He has a stud earing and wear streetwear clothes.       He is seen with his friends, has his phone, some candy, and is brought to reality with a static TV. He is a friendly and a curious person but quickly turns unsettling when he has his flashes. He speaks with a dreamy tone and has a permanent concerned expression. They are in a constantly unstable state psychologically and physically, his motivations usually include discovering who he is and what reality is.

Representation

            Our film represents mental illnesses and the effects it has on people.  We are portraying a person experiencing the effects of a harsh psychosis. The entire hallucination seems dream-like and too perfect for reality, like it is from hallucinogen. We will be focusing on the element of confusion with how the world around the main character and how Faelon is ill. I feel the only edits we may really need to be making the side characters seem too happy and bright.

How we Costume our Characters

                 Faelon: Faelon will be wearing a white sleeved shirt with green graffiti wring on it and black pants. He will also wear some gold jewelry and black boots. These dark colors imply something is wrong and adds a mysterious undertone. This also contrast to the rest of the characters who are wearing very light-colored clothes.     Milo: Milo will have a light-colored polo and shorts with dark shoes. He wears a woven bracelet and glasses to give a more relaxed look. This outfit should show nonchalance and give a calm aura. This should match his caring attitude with his friends.      Salem: Salem wears a long-sleeved pastel green shirt and white pants. These light colors show optimism with is ironic with her personality. Her hair will be let down like the others and have a choker on.     Demitrius: Demitrius has a classic streetwear on. A T-shirt and some black pants are a classic and show he ...
