The paper deals with the visual composition of colour and its applying to the art of cinema, highlighting the importance of colour as an element in the mise-en-scène of a cinematographic work. Despite the fact that we live in a world composed of colours and perceive them in an active way, the colour as an aesthetic means of the film is not often taken as object of interest. It is mainly caused by secondary nature of colours perception of the cinematographic work at the expense of the picture as a whole. The colour generally acts in the film realistically, and therefore rarely comes to the fore. A closer look at its function in mise-en-scène and narratives proves that the motivation of choosing colours in the film is clearly identified as conditional. This paper attempts to identify and summarize the typology of the above outlined motivations.
