The Importance of Red
We used the colour red for the cloak, not only because Little Red Riding Hood wears a red cloak, but also because red is an incredibly interesting colour, due to its many connotations; not only does it symbolise love and lust, but it also symbolises anger, rage, fire and danger. It could even be considered that red could symbolise the majority of human emotions, yet the juxtaposing emotions could cause dramatic changes in mood, or even personality.
The film, 'Don't Look Now', from 1973, uses the colour red extremely well.
As the little girl in the red coat drowns, the red ink on the picture begins to run; this is symbolic for her life running out as her, and her red coat are submerged with water.
