The film, Moulin Rouge, uses different hues and values of colors which are really dynamic and influential. For example the movie starts out with the black and white background and soon the signboard of a building  starts to have a color of pink which is the tint of red. This is marked as a transitional device because soon after the signboard color changes the movie gains colorful effects. The transition of black and white to different colors is important because the general mood of the story changes. Moreover, the saturated colors of dancers' costumes which are mainly saturated red, green, blue not only attract attention from the audience but also from guys in the club. For example Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec is a male character in the movie. He wears a bright red (saturated color) jacket in contrast to black and white background which grabs audience's attention. Furthermore, the analogous harmony is used in the Nicole Kidman's room. The room is decorated with red, orange red, and orange colors. These colors gives oriental look to the room. The movie was fun and exciting due to its colorful effects.

GOOD! YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BRING IN A HARD COPY...USUALLY I WOULD GIVE A ZERO BUT YOU WILL LOSE 5 POINTS DUE TO THE UNEXPECTED BREAK. 10/15
