Journal of Literature and Arts Research, 2025, vol. 2, issue 2, 61-67

Abstract: Color serves as a fundamental compositional element in cinematic visual presentation, offering significant analytical and referential value. This study examines Terry Gilliam's "12 Monkeys" (1995) from design and visual arts perspectives, employing comprehensive analytical methods including literature review, image analysis, and interdisciplinary research. The research investigates color construction within film scenic spaces, analyzing the ritualized presentation and function of color, with particular focus on color's expressive, metaphorical, symbolic, and semiotic dimensions. The study extracts the application system and construction methods of color in film scenic spaces, providing theoretical guidance and reference for personal graduation projects while enhancing the development of color systems within worldview frameworks.
