Earth Song - Analysis of the colours

Hi guys,

today we first described a picture of trees, probably from the Amazon rainforest. We analysed what the colours and constrasts evoked.

Then we began to watch and study the video clip from the song entitled "Earth Song" by Michael Jackson (the colours and the contrasts too). Here is what we said:

How to express opposition and constrast = WHEREAS / WHILE / UNLIKE

* Happy memories are in colour whereas sad memories are in black and white.

* Unlike dull memories (which are in black and white), happy memories are in colour.

* While dreadful memories are in black and white, happy memories are in colour.

-> Atmosphere: the colours (red / black / ...) evoke the end of the world (the ........................). It means we will never see life again. It's our future if we don't care about our planet. These images can become true.

Vocab:

Nature -> the rainforest (the tropical jungle) / the wild (wild trees and animals).

Destruction and war -> smoke (fire) / fumes (factory) / bulldozer

Contrast -> There is an opposition between bright and dull colours.
