The film starts off using very warm colours, it is also very saturated and has a high contrast. During this scene Juno is about to have sex with Paulie Bleeker.
Juno's Red T-shirt and lips could represent love/lust, this is very common in most films. The yellow and orange colours makes the scene feel very warm, also the are colours that tend to appear in autumn. Also these colours mean happiness and joy, which represents Juno's character.
After this scene Juno finds out that she is pregnant, she does the pregnancy test in a store. The colours are still vibrant while she is doing her test. As soon as she finds out that she is pregnant she leaves the store, this is when the colour changes which Shows the change of Juno's emotions.
The film now has a blue tint, blue normally represents depression and sadness which can sometimes be the emotions that girls go threw when finding out about an unexpected pregnancy. The blue also gives off a cold atmosphere.
The film then moves forward to when Juno has decided to give the baby up for adoption. This is when we are introduced to Mark and Vanessa who are the adoptive parents. The colours used in this scene really represent the characters personalities.
The scene takes place in Mark and Vanessa's house, the house colour scheme mainly consists of whites and browns. The white can represent cleanliness and wanting to be pure but it can also mean being empty which may be because the characters cannot produce a baby as the are sterile. The browns are quite a warm homely colours.
Vanessa is wearing black which gives off a sense of power, as you learn more about the characters you learn that Vanessa is the the one who wears the trousers in the relationship.
Mark is wearing blue which is a more mellow colour. Blue can represent calmness and loyalty which describes marks character very well.
At the end of the film, the colour scheme changes again. This time it is very warm and bright. This gives off the feeling of happiness, i think this is done because everything has worked out. It also reinforces the season which is summer.
