colour connotations

As my video has a linear narrative that portrays emotion, the best way to show this to the audience is through the use of colour. Therefore I have looked at colour connotations so therefore when it comes to editing I know what filters to add, and when shooting what costumes, make up, background and props should be used to show a certain emotion. 

As my narrative is based on the love, from this research I have found that the main colours that should be used are red to signify passion, black as it is associated with the unknown and sometimes despair and finally white as signifies purity and honesty. From looking at the connotations behind the colours mentioned above I have also found that different shades of colours can signify different meaning so that the tint and brightness of colours also needs to be carefully thought about when planning my video.
