Black and white in cinema and other audiovisual derivations: symbolism and aesthetic option

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

Starting from an analysis of the symbolism attributed to the black and the white by the diverse cultures, we try to approach and reflect on how some cinematographic pieces, by rejecting the color, seek to potentiate their language by means of a registry in black and white. From a cinematographic approach, this study aims to analyzing how other audiovisual proposals, namely advertising, music video and virtual image created from video game platforms, seek to take advantage of the symbolic and, of course, aesthetic potentialities, provided by a black and white image.
