What else can we call tone: tone in film can also be called brightness.
What are the three main elements of tone: Lighting, which is how you light a scene eg. even lighting or high contrast. Exposure is how much light you allow into the camera, whether it be little or completely blown out. Art direction is how much tonal difference is in the set dressing, props and wardrobe.
How is tone used in the godfather: Darker lighting is used to represent the marfia, while lighter, more natural lighting is used as an outer appearance.
How can directors control the feeling of the scenes: Directors can change to tone to symbolise many different things. Making a scene darker makes it feel more sinister, compared to a bright scene. This can also be used ironically, for humour.
Colour:
How does colour in film affect people: Colour can affect people due to the psychology behind certain colours.
What are the three factors in determining colour: Hue (what colour), saturation (how strong the colour is) and brightness.
why is the hue in 'The Matrix' mainly green: The colour green is associated with code and the green of the scenes feels sickly and off putting, like what is going on in that world.
why do some films desaturate: desaturating a film can make it feel more gritty, this is used a lot in war movies.
what can brightness and lack of brightness show in a film: The change in brightness can show contrast in a film, often as a external persona and an inner, darker motive.
