Construção do pós-morte a partir das cores: uma análise do filme A Noiva Cadáver, de Tim Burton

Abstract

This work analyzes how colors influence the cinematographic narratives of the animation genre. We started with the emergence of drawings until their animation using different supports and then popularization through cinema. We present the introduction of colors in the works of the Seventh Art, ranging from disbelief in passing a real image to their exploration to reveal information about the characters. We continue with the presentation of color theory and its meanings based on psychological and artistic studies carried out by Eva Heller (2013), Abreu and Andrade (2016), Braga and Costa (2020) and Silva (2017). From a contextualization of funeral rituals and conceptions of the afterlife in the West, we proceeded to an analysis of A Corpse Bride (2005) using the methods developed by Aumont and Marie (2004) and Vanoye and Goliot-Lété (1994). In this way, the feature film went through the decoupage process and then the scenes were selected according to their relevance for the analysis of colors.
