Lecture 5 - Cities and Film








There are a lot of films that use the city to describe its setting and what the story's going to be about. A good example of this is 'A Bug's Life'; This film demonstrates the core differences between a city and the countryside and re-interprets them to suit the lifestyle of bugs.

In these two example pictures, you can see the colours are very different, the city giving darker tones with spotlights to represent a busy street with lots of buildings at night, and how it is usually a lively place. Whereas the countryside has very bright greens and pinks to highlight a peaceful place (or at least at the end of the film) which has more common communities that work together to make their homeland better.
