These are scenes from the animation, The Brave Little Toaster. In the waterfall scene, they use a monochromatic color scheme for the background, by using light blue to darker blue hues. This gives the scene an ominous dangerous feel. The junkyard scene uses a split-analogous scheme, with the green, yellow and orange. This makes the scene feel more aesthetically pleasing. The characters in the waterfall are bright colors brought into a monochromatic scene, making them stand out. The characters visible in the junkyard scene contribute to the split-analogous scheme helping them fit into the scene.
The brightness of the waterfall scene is contrasting the darkness. The waterfall’s foam is bright to contrast the mountains. The junkyard scenes background is bright to contrast the cars, sky and ground. The junkyard scene is much brighter in comparison to the waterfall scene.
The saturation of the junkyard scene is very high in places and dull in others. The cars are lower saturation, where the characters are higher saturation. The colors appear very vibrant. The saturation of the waterfall scene is duller in some places. Both scenes use about the same amount of saturation respectively.
In the waterfall scene, none of the characters are casting shadows. This contrasts with the junkyard scene because the magnet is casting a big shadow on the ground. There is affinity between both scenes with the background objects casting shadows. This gives the scene more depth and brings the scene together.
Both scenes share the same symbolism of light. The highlights, like the waterfall foam and the background of the junkyard, give the scene a more dramatic contrast against the low lights. This symbolizes the better part of the scenes, like the good characters versus the bad characters. The lower lighting, like the mountains and the cars, symbolize the danger in both scenes.
The mood in the waterfall scene is a fearing nervous feeling. They achieve this with the differing brightness. The mood of the junkyard is also a nervous and fearful mood. They achieve this by the colors of the background and the brightness. This gives the audience a feeling of mystery through the brightness.
