Media 203: Deconstructing Characters: Super Hero

Super Hero: Sonny Sunshine
Color: Orange and yellow are two hues that are next to each other on the color wheel. This makes them analogous, giving Sonny Sunshine an analogous color scheme. A high saturation of these two colors makes a motif of pure and intense color that creates emotion. The emotion being created is to give the audience a happy feeling that is warm and genuine. Orange can mean energy and yellow can mean wisdom giving Sonny Sunshine a good mix of powers. Not only do these hues have a good meaning, they also look nice together and have an attraction that plays into the emotion trying to be expressed through Sonny Sunshine. The emotions and meaning of the colors also adds a rhythm that gives the audience knowledge that help from this Super Hero is on the way. The orange and yellow beanie represents the colors for Sonny Sunshine.
Light: Light is literally used to see objects, direct attention and gives shape, depth, and emotion. This character emits light from himself. Having the light come from Sonny Sunshine changes the focus from being directed to him as a spotlight would do, but rather emphasizes his surroundings. By being a light to those he is helping it gives a sense of caring selflessness and people have a sense of trust in him. The religious image has two people with a halo of light surrounding their heads as if they were emitting it. It gives a feeling of trust and compassion which is what Sonny Sunshine has. The light represents pureness in addition to trust and compassion.
Shape: A circle and a triangle are two basic shapes that are easily recognizable. They also have lines that show direction and give definition. A circle is a representation of peace and expresses trust as well as a meaning of compassion. The triangle is a very strong shape and means leadership. Sonny Sunshine is a mix of the circle and triangle giving him a vibe of that of a go-getter with determination (to save the townspeople by being a leader that's caring and compassionate). He also is physically strong that is shown by the triangle. The image of Disney's Epcot represents the strong triangle and the circle of peace. Sonny Sunshine relates to this and this makes him a power house of two shapes.
