Ever since the advent of color in the 1930's before it became mainstream in filmmaking in the 50's and 60's, filmmakers have found creative ways to utilize color as a tool in storytelling. Often utilized as a storytelling device to tell something more about the story that cannot be conveyed by the performances alone, color can be used to translate emotions, imbue symbolism, and have a psychological impact on the audience. In this double feature, we discuss two films, The Florida Project (2017) directed by Sean Baker and Vertigo (1958) directed by Alfred Hitchcock and how both directors use color in significant ways to help build the emotional resonance of their stories.
