[Jeff Bernstein]

So willingly doth God remit his Ire,
Though late repenting him of Man deprav’d,
Griev’d at his heart, when looking down he saw
The whole Earth fill’d with violence, and all flesh
Corrupting each thir way; yet those remoov’d,
Such grace shall one just Man find in his sight,
That he relents, not to blot out mankind,
And makes a Covenant never to destroy
The Earth again by flood, nor let the Sea
Surpass his bounds, nor Rain to drown the World
With Man therein or Beast; but when he brings
Over the Earth a Cloud, will therein set
His triple-colour’d Bow, whereon to look
And call to mind his Covenant: Day and Night,
Seed time and Harvest, Heat and hoary Frost
Shall hold thir course, till fire purge all things new,
Both Heav’n and Earth, wherein the just shall dwell.

“Oppenheimer Blue” : the Prevailing Colour(s) in each shot of the Oppenheimer trailer

 

This exercise contributes to discovering further thematic elements inside and between shots.

 

Example 1 : the bomb recalls the eye of Oppenheimer.

We may call this blue the “Oppenheimer Blue”.

 

Example 2 : the table is the brown of nature; the white is an echo of the atomic ambience; and the blues are the “Oppenheimer Blue”.

 

Data :

1. fire : orange / black / some white

2. blue / (silvery)

3. blue

4. brighter blue

5. silver / blue / black

6. silver / blue / black / white / (silvery)

7. white / (silvery)

8. Earth colours : brown / blue (mountains) / pink (sky) / bit of white

9. brown / green / white

10. fire : orange / black

11. white / black / (bit of) brown / (bit of) blue

12. brown

13. white / Oppenheimer-blue

14. white / Oppenheimer-blue / brown / (bit of) red

15. black / grey / (silvery)

 

16. and the other coloured marbles . . .

recall the rainbow effect here :

 

17. black / Oppenheimer Blue

18. black / Oppenheimer Blue / red highlight

19. fire-spark : orange / black

20. fiery celestial entities : orange / black

21. Fire : orange / black / some white

 

22. silver / brown

Note the shading on this item recalls the shading on Oppenheimer's face. Also, if brown = Earth, then this shot is, so to speak, Earth vs. silver.

 

23. white / grey

24. fire : yellow / black

25. white / brown

26. white / grey

27. black / white

 

28. brown / grey : fusion of Earth and instrument?

 

29. particles : red / black

30. oscillation : Oppenheimer Blue

31. particles : red / black

 

32. b&w // or : grey / silvery-grey / silvery-white / atomic ambience white

 

33. fire : orange / black

34. white / Oppenheimer Blue / bit of dark brown or black

35. oscillation : Oppenheimer Blue

36. particles : Oppenheimer Blue

 

37. brown / white

The young Oppenheimer still “grounded” in the earth (in and amid earth colours : and yet the white : intimations of the atomic ambience?).

 

38. Oppenheimer Blue. The white droplets recall the fire of shot 1 :

 

39. silvery-white/Oppenheimer Blue/bit of rainbow effect

 

40. particles : Oppenheimer Blue / white

41. fire : orange

42. earth brown / fire orange / atomic ambience white

 

43. b&w / atomic ambience white

Note the subtle shading that recalls :

 

44. earth brown / fire orange / atomic ambience white

45. Oppenheimer Blue / white / black

46. fire : yellow / black

 

47. army green / Oppenheimer Blue / atomic ambience white

Incomprehensible mathematics babble courtesy of London's Newspaper of the Year

 

"The obsession with Mathematics, a subject most people don’t need to study until they are 18, is typical of a system that fails to equip pupils for modern life. . . ."

 

"Even I, and clearly many pupils, simply cannot see the “national” need for a sizeable chunk of our schooling to go on a subject that the overwhelming majority of us will never regularly use in our careers and will soon forget. Its ancient essentials of arithmetic, algebra and geometry seem a million miles from our daily lives. Ordinary people’s knowledge of quadratic equations, calculus, trigonometry, logarithms and primes are not necessary for modern, computer-driven work and play, any more than knowing how a car works is for driving."

 

"How does a politician know what priority should be given to what young people most need? I would think personal finances, the law, and health should carry a far higher priority. Come to that, so should politics. Schools should snap out of their monastic past and teach the science of modern life."

“Oppenheimer Blue” : Part II

 

48. Oppenheimer Blue / atomic ambience white

 

49. Earth tones? This colouring recalls the train shot. NOTE : the telephoto wave/particle motifs.

Above : Might this character be worrying over the fate of the Earth? The colour expresses what is on his mind?

 

50. fire-yellow/white/black

End of Part 1 of Trailer. Let’s examine so far.
