Our Colourful World

A look into the colours that surround us and how their meanings can be positive or negative.

“Our Colourful World” is a 6 minute documentary that follows each colour and their various meanings. With a focus on one colour at a time, a story is spoken without a single word. The story of everyone going through stress and anxiety who needs more colour in their lives. This documentary’s characters are the colours themselves: yellow, orange, green, Red and Blue. Nature's beauty is contrasted with man made construction, old wrinkled leaves with new splashes of paint. There is never a dull moment with this story's explosion of colour.

The Team

Nicole Mazur

Nicole is a third year film student with a focus on editing and cinematography. They are the co-director, co-producer, and editor of Our Colourful World. Their favourite colours are blue and purple. They love to come up with visually beautiful shots and build their films off of that, making this documentary one of their favourites to work on.

Phoenix Williams
​Co-Producer, Co-Director

​Phoenix is a student in Bachelor Of Tv program, currently studying in 3rd year. They are the Director and the Production design behind “Our Colourful World”. When creating the idea for this film, Phoenix wanted to make a different kind of film to be more experimental and focus on the audience to make their decisions for what it means to them. Their favourite colour is the shade of green called Viridian. “Green is the calming colour for me. I love hiking and camping so forests are the place I spend most of my time in. It is just so peaceful and energizing I try to surround myself with green things and put forward the energy that colour makes me feel into the world”.
