How Tone is Operating:
The poster for The Dark Knight is a great example of dark and light tones especially creating contrast because a certain mood is extended. The image is using all mostly shades of blacks and blues, except for the red and orange fire which strongly stands apart from the rest of the image. The shades of the blacks and blues are very strong and clear, for the poster is not dulled done but almost intensified by its color.
How Tone is Interacting:
Tone is happening with Dondis’s element of movement. Because of all the different variations of dark colors used, it gives off a erie feeling that something bad could or will possibly happen. The tone makes the reader drawn in, and makes the reader want to see the movie to interact with what wrong could possibly happen because of the color palette chosen.
How Color is Operating:
Color is operating in this picture by using blue and gray hues, contrasted by the bright, fiery red orange fire at the top of the image. The fire is the complete opposite of the darkness surrounded it. The different shades of colors used, whether it be the darkness of the batman or the brightness of the fire, display that negative imagery is taking place.
How Color is Interacting:
I think color is working with the Dondis element of texture and lines. The texture of the fire and the smoke and smog hazing around the sky represent and foreshadow for something wrong to take place. The darkness of the colors interact with the reader because it brings them in to wonder what could actually take place in this movie.
