Drafting and planning - Colour connotations

The colour connotations commonly used in horror movies are red and black as they symbolise: death, darkness and blood which are all featured. Some horror movies have now started using bright white which either though it symbolises purity, they are using it to say that there is darkness even in the light creating a chilling effect. Some other horror movies have started to use elements of light blue to express the extraterrestrial such as aliens whilst other films have used green in the form of night vision to make it look like someone has recorded the film via there phone making it seem realistic. Such films that use this effect are Paranormal activity and grave encounters.
