Blog Assignment#6-Animation Deconstruction

The two pictures that I picked were both from the T.V. show Spongebob Squarepants.  The first picture of Spongebob and Patrick are running away from The Flying Dutchman.  The hues they chose were darker colors then the typical Spongebob style of color.  They picked to make it darker to add emphasis on the scariness of the scene.  They made the Flying Dutchman a brighter green then everything else so you can focus your eyes more towards him. The only shadows in this picture are the ones under both Spongebob and Patrick and those are there to show that they are running away from The Flying Dutchman and also show that they have “weight”.  Since the image is so dark it has affected the mood by making it an ominous feeling when the viewer looks at it.  The parallel lines in the image help you focus on Spongebob and Patrick while the tints of green help you focus your eyes on The Flying Dutchman at the same time. 

            Red, orange, and other strong colors were the hues chosen for the second picture.  They brought out the saturation of the background in the second picture to make the fire in the background have a stronger impact.  They also brought down the saturation on Spongebob and Patricks face to show how powerful the explosion was behind them and how bright it was.  It adds to the mood they are in because it makes them look much more intense than they normally are.  Spongebob overlaps Patrick in the second image, which allows you to focus on both of them.  There are no parallel lines in this image so that doesn’t help you focus so it relies on the use of overlapping movements.  Both Patricks arms and Spongebobs’ are angled toward their faces helping your eye movement toward them.

            These images use a completely different set of colors.  The hues used in the first image are blue and green which are both very cool colors that give you a sense of relaxation.  While the colors in the second image are red, orange, and yellow which all give you a sense of aggression and power.  These images are very different when compared to eachother.
