Director Wes Anderson is famous for his exceptional use of color in all of his movies. He has a very distinct style in his work that makes his films easily recognizable. In Moonrise Kingdom, he used especially vibrant colors, making the picture appear very whimsical and cheerful, even though the underlying meaning in the film is very sad. As a photography major, the color in Wes Anderson's work really sticks out to me because I am used to taking photos of my surroundings, where I don't have any control over the colors around me, and it is obvious that Anderson deliberately chose this vibrant, warm toned color scheme.
