Blog #7







ESSAY

            Here we are looking at a still clip of the beginning scene of every Rugrats and King of the Hill Episode ever made.  In this blog post I will discuss how the hue, brightness, and saturation are similar and how they differ from one another.  Lets get this started shall we?

            Upon looking into the hue of these two scenes, I will begin with the Rugrats image.  We can see that there is a bit of a yellow tint throughout this image.  This may be because of the fact that the back wall is yellow as well is Angelica’s hair.  However, looking a little bit deeper we can see that even on the children’s skin there is a hint of yellow.  That being said, we can now look at the King of the Hill image.  Looking at this we can see that the hue is on the green side.  Obvious things are the trees and the grass being green.   However something that is not as obvious to see is the fact that there is a slight green tint over the entire frame.

            I will now look at the brightness of the two images.  In the Rugrats image, we can very easily see that this image is bright.  We can assume this to be used as a sort of symbolism.  This frame is very bright and we know that these children are living a life of Freedom and absolutely no responsibilities.  Switching our focus to the King of the Hill image, we can see that it is much more dark.  This may be viewed as odd seeing as how they are outdoors and it is clearly day-time.  This darkness, again, can be viewed as symbolism for the lack of excitement seen in these character’s lives.  We really see them doing on thing very frequently which is exactly what is viewed in this image.

            Finally, I will touch on the saturation of the two images.  The Rugrats image has a light saturation that makes the colors seem to be a little bit faded.  This affect also gives the show a grainier look.  However, in the King of the Hill image, we see a very heavy saturation that makes it easier for us as an audience to point out the different objects in the scene.
