Speech – Pleasantville directed by Gary Ross Untitled by Simple Plan
How do visual techniques develop and convey meaning
Good morning/Afternoon class and teacher. Today I’m going to be speaking about how Garry Ross the director of Pleasantville, and Simple Plan’s Untitled, develop and convey meaning through the use of visual techniques. Gary Ross develops his ideas of change by using various visual techniques to emphasize an awakening throughout the characters of Pleasantville. He addresses that change is something you have to accept in life, even if you’re not use to it. Gary Ross also contrasts the ignorance and mindlessness of the people who live in Pleasantville with the hunger for knowledge and communicating to the viewer that change and knowledge go hand in hand.
Gary Ross acknowledged all aspects of everyday life and experiences that individual’s face in today’s society when creating this film called Pleasantville. Ross conveys his idea of awakening throughout the film using various techniques. Colour is recognized as one of the most important techniques in this film. The use of colour is created in the film when the order starts to change; this develops the idea of an awakening. An example of an awakening by the use of colour is a sexual awakening when young teenagers or the mother herself change from the dull, black and white shades due to new experiences. Ross uses different colors to symbolize different awakenings; red is a color that he often uses to convey love and passion. Not only sexual awakenings but also emotional awakenings, the desire for change which was once non-existent in the uniform town of Pleasantville. Ross conveys this desire for change throughout many characters, But in the “put on some make-up” scene, where George is trying to convince a coloured Betty to go to a town meeting, and tells her to “put on some make-up ” she then replies “I don’t want to put on some make-up” he says “It goes away… It’ll all go away” she
