ByoungHyoun Hwang Papers Code and Data Some Pictures Behavioral Finance Beliefs and Preferences 1 PriceBased Return Comovement with T Clifton Green 2009 Journal of Financial Economics 93 3750 Investors group companies based on stock prices This can cause excesscomovement We find that shortly after a stock conducts a 2for1 split the stock starts comoving more with lowerpriced stocks and less with higherpriced stocks This shift in comovement occurs after the effective date of the split and not on or before the announcement date of the split Our results suggest that investors care about a companys stock price the findings are also broadly consistent with the notion that investors moving money in and out of categories induces stockreturn comovement above and beyond what would be expected based on firm fundamentals Please check out the SAS code under Code and Data to reproduce our main results 2 CountrySpecific Sentiment and Security Prices 2011 Journal of Financial Economics 100 382401 Companies operating in less popular countries among Americans trade at a substantial discount in the US Country popularity also affects foreign direct investment and crossborder mergers I provide evidence that a countrys popularity among Americans as measured by Gallup Polls affects US investors demand for US securities and causes security prices to deviate from their fundamental values Country popularity also positively associates with the intensity of US crossborder MA activity suggesting that country popularity enters the investmentdecisionmaking process of not only investors but also firms If you are interested in the country popularity data and your institution subscribes to the Gallup Polls or the iPoll Databank please let me know Id be happy to share the original and an updated dataset 3 IPOs as Lotteries Skewness Preference and FirstDay Returns with T Clifton Green 2012 Management Science 58 432444 Investors treat IPOs like lotteries Investors preference for lotteries causes temporary IPO overpricing and subsequently poor longrun performance We provide evidence that skewness preference plays a role in the pricing of stocks In particular we find that IPOs that are predicted to be more positively skewed have significantly higher returns on the first day of trading these IPOs also have lower longterm returns Please check out the SAS code

Management Journal 38 751769 Founder CEOs of SP 1500 firms are more overconfident than their nonfounder counterparts Our finding helps explain why large publicly traded firms managed by founder CEOs behave so differently We provide evidence that founder CEOs of large SP 1500 companies are more overconfident than their nonfounder counterparts professional CEOs We measure overconfidence via tone in CEO tweets tone in CEO statements during earnings conference calls management earnings forecasts and CEO optionexercise behavior We find that compared with professional CEOs founder CEOs use more optimistic language on Twitter and during earnings conference calls In addition founder CEOs are more likely to issue earnings forecasts that are too high they are also more likely to perceive their firms to be undervalued as implied by their optionexercise behavior To date investors appear If you are interested in our founder dataset which signs each CEO in the Execucomp database from 2008 through 2012 as a founder CEO versus a professional CEO please let me know Wed be happy to share the dataset Behavioral Finance Market Frictions 5 Arbitrage Involvement and Security Prices with Baixiao Liu and Wei Xu 2018 Management Science forthcoming The presence of a deep and liquid shortselling market allows hedge funds to hedge their long positions thereby allowing them to trade more aggressively on underpricing The presence of a wellfunctioning shorting market therefore not only facilitates the correction of overpricing but also helps correct underpricing We propose that hedge funds more aggressively buy underpriced stocks when they are allowed to short To test our proposition we utilize the institutional feature in Hong Kong in virtue of which only stocks added to a special list can be shorted Our firststage analysis uses hedge fund holdings data and provides evidence that the emergency of shortable securities indeed causes hedge funds to more aggressively buy seemingly underpriced stocks Our secondstage analysis presents evidence that hedge funds increased involvement in these securities helps correct underpricing and moves prices in the direction of fundamentals Please click for the Online Appendix 6 Offsetting Disagreement and Security Prices with Dong Lou and Chengxi Yin 2017 Investors generally are less excited about portfolios than they are about individual companies This has important asset pricing implications We propose that investors are generally less excited about portfolios than they are about the individual companies in those portfolios The reason is that companies liked by some investors are often not liked by other investors This makes it almost impossible to construct a portfolio that perfectly pleases large groups of investors and contains only every investors most favorite companies The maximum level of excitement that a portfolio of companies receives from investors therefore is almost always less than the sum of the level of excitement that the individual companies in the portfolio receive from their most fervent supporters In Utilizing mergers and acquisitions closedend funds exchangetraded funds and conglomerates where the value of the aggregate portfolio and the values of the underlying components can be separately evaluated we present evidence supporting our proposition Please click for the

and CEOs affect directors monitory effectiveness The conventional view of director independence puts the focus on financialfamilial ties to the CEOfirm Here we provide evidence that ties between directors and CEOs also matter We approximate social ties via background similarities eg the CEO and the director both served in the military share an alma mater were born in the same region We find that firms whose boards are conventionally and socially independent award a significantly lower level of compensation exhibit stronger payperformance sensitivity and exhibit stronger turnoverperformance sensitivity than firms whose boards are conventionally independent only 8 Wisdom of Crowds The Value of Stock Opinions Transmitted through Social Media with Hailiang Chen Prabuddha De and Yu Jeffrey Hu 2014 Review of Financial Studies 27 13671403 Stock opinions transmitted through social media can be very valuable This paper investigates the extent to which investor opinions transmitted through social media predict future stock returns and earnings surprises We conduct textual analysis of articles published on one of the most popular social media platforms for investors in the United States from 2005 to 2012 We also consider the readers perspective as inferred via commentaries written in response to these articles We find that the views expressed in both articles and commentaries predict future stock returns and earnings surprises in a statistically significant and economically meaningful way 9 It Pays to Write Well with Hugh Hoikwang Kim 2017 Journal of Financial Economics 124 373394 In communicating with investors it matters not only what you say but also how clearly you say it We quantify the impact of easytoread disclosure documents on firm value Using a copyediting software application that counts the pervasiveness of the most important writing faults that make a document harder to read our analysis provides evidence that issuing financial disclosure documents with low readability causes firms to trade at significant discounts relative to the value of their fundamentals Please check out the STATA code under Code and Data to reproduce our main results 10 Information Sharing and Spillovers Evidence from Financial Analysts with Jason Sturgess and Jose Liberti 2018 Management Science forthcoming In knowledgebased industries individuals owe much of their success to the colleagues that surround them We study how information sharing within an organization affects individual performance We look at situations in which the same analyst while working at the same broker covers multiple mergers and acquisitions MAs in particular the acquirer prior to the MA and the merged firm thereafter We find that earnings forecasts for the merged firm are significantly more accurate when the analyst has a colleague working at the same broker covering the corresponding target prior to the MA This holds particularly true if acquirer and targetanalysts reside in the same locale if they are part of a smaller team and if 11 The Emergence of Social Executives and its Consequences for Financial Markets with Hailiang Chen and Baixiao Liu 2018 The use of social media has extended from investors to the captains of some of the largest companies in the US Here we highlight some of the economic consequences for financial markets We document the emergence of social executives top executives who connect with investors directly personally and in real time through social media and we study the consequences of this development for financial markets We contend that the emergence of social executives enables retail investors to obtain valuerelevant information to which they previously had no access We conjecture that this increases retail investor participation and improves stock market liquidity Using data reflecting the personal Twitter account activity of the CEOs and CFOs of the largest publicly traded companies in the United States we find evidence consistent with our hypothesis Utilizing the Please click for the Online Appendix 12 The Speed of Communication with Shiyang Huang and Dong Lou 2018 We describe the rate at which information spreads in financial markets via wordofmouth communication and how that rate varies with both characteristics of the underlying information and characteristics of the senders and receivers of such information We study how information travels in the financial marketplace via wordofmouth communication Our innovation is to use crossindustry stockfinanced mergers and acquisitions MAs as a source of plausibly exogenous variation in an investor s portfolio composition and subsequent informationgathering activity Specifically we conjecture that once endowed with shares of the acquirer firm investors in the target firm pay greater attention to the acquirer firm s industry which in turn generates additional trading activity in the acquirer industry To the extent that any newly gained industry perspective spreads through wordofmouth communication we may observe higher levels of trading activity in the Please click for the Online Appendix 13 Form and Function in the Social Sciences with Hugh Hoikwang Kim and Kai Wu 2018 Packaging an idea proposed in a scientific journal article in confusing writing impedes an idea from reaching its intended audience Ideas proposed in scientific journal articles have the potential to touch many areas of our lives in significant ways Here we examine whether there are frictions in the scientific knowledge dissemination process In particular we test whether something as seemingly frivolous as the ease with which an article can be read affects the degree to which an article reaches its intended audience Consistent with the presence of frictions we find that when applying a copyediting software that counts the pervasiveness of the most important writing faults to journal articles published from 2005 through 2014 articles with one more writing fault Number of Citations and LinkedIn

Big Blog Of Gardening Landscaping How to Remove a Yew shrub How to Remove a Yew shrub By Todd Heft May 7 2012 Landscaping Organic Lawn Care Removing a Yew shrub is sometimes more difficult than cutting down a tree The wood is extremely dense and difficult to cut with the sharpest chainsaw and the root system is widespread and very deep The English Yew is an ancient shrub of beauty used for centuries as hedges and trees and central to ancient Celtic religious ceremonies Topping out at anywhere from 540 feet depending on cultivar full grown Yews are notoriously difficult to extract due to their deep and hearty root structure Worlds tallest yew hedge at 40ft is in Bathurst Estate UK The Yew is one of Americas most popular plants but it would seem that most homeowners never read the tag that comes with the plant Yews have a mature height of anywhere from 815 feet and in some cases higher with a 45 foot spread its a seriously large plant when mature and should be given a wide berth Some homeowners attempt to restrain their Yew shrubs with radical pruning every year but this leaves the shrubs barren and misshapen Truly a professional horticulturist should prune your Yew as they know how far back it can be taken each year without causing damage or stress which may lead to disease your local landscaper rarely has more knowledge than you do in this area When pruned poorly the inside woody growth of a Yew becomes more visible than its foliage which is a shame because the foliage is quite beautiful For the humble homeowner unaware of the monster he planted its ultimately a losing battle and the Yew is eventually removed when it grows over the sidewalk or obscures the front picture window Did you know that the English Yew has been cultivated for thousands of years Thats probably why its so well adapted to just about any soil and any light condition From Bellarmineedu The history of the English Yew is a very interesting one It was used for the longbows of English archers It is still today used for making bows and cabinetwork The oldest known wooden tool was a spear made of Yew wood dating back 50000 years from ClactononSea England Robin Hood used a bow of Yew to win the Maid Marion and they were wedded beneath the branches of a Yew Upon his death he was laid to rest beneath a Yew plant Yews form an amazing hedge Yews are absolutely beautiful when left to grow unpruned to a certain height their foliage takes on a free flowing form which moves gently in the breeze the needles are soft to the touch it remains green year round and its one heck of a windbreak Yews planted the proper distance apart from each other depends on cultivar will grow in to make a perfect hedge especially if you leave their growth unchecked meaning unpruned Grown this way theyre virtually maintenance free able to withstand hurricane winds blizzards or drought Birds and other wildlife love them too as they provide dense cover for nesting protection and shelter Unfortunately I rarely see Yews planted as hedges a proper distance from sidewalks or home foundations Lucky me the previous owner of my home planted 6 Yews around the foundation each about three feet from the house On my first couple of landscaping forays after moving in I removed the smallest two which were a challenge but my son and I managed to get them out with brute force and shovels removing even the deep deep roots The Yews were only about four feet tall and we spent hours bending twisting digging hacking pushing and pulling When it finally came I decided to document my method for safely removing a Yew since Ive seen quite a lot of dangerous and poor information about this online Ill interrupt here to say that some illinformed people will tell you to back up a pickup truck to the yew tie a chain to the truck lash the other end of the chain around the plant then put the truck into gear and pull it out Dont do it The chain may snap creating a serious hazard and the pickups tires will spin in place and dig up your yard An additional hazard relayed to me by a landscaper is that Yew roots are known to grow in to a cement foundation taking advantage of any small cracks If you yank the Yew out with a truck and chain a chunk of your foundation may come with it which will be really bad news Yews are the Rocky Balboa of the plant world Buy on Amazon Corona RS 7160 Razor Tooth Raker Saw How to remove a Yew shrub safely Use a lopper to cut off all of the branches down to the trunk Dig around the yew with a shovel as deeply and as wide as possible Three feet deep is best Use a pruning saw small angled and sharp to trim the smaller brushtype branches as close to the trunk as possible Feel around the trunk of the yew and with the pruning saw sever all roots large and small Yews are notorious for growing back if you leave even one root intact You can also do this at the tail end of the project With a chainsaw cut the trunk of the yew as far below the soils surface as possible Youll find the wood to be extremely dense and possibly difficult to cut the older it is the more dense it is Make as many additional cuts in the wood as possible Damaged wood will allow moisture bacteria fungi and insects to enter and break down the stump and roots Once again feel around the trunk for any additional roots and sever with the pruning saw Do not use the chainsaw for this as youll be cutting into dirt which may ruin the chainsaw When youre confident that all of the roots are severed backfill the hole and cover the stump Plant something in front of or aside the yew stump which will now be unseen It will take years but eventually the elements will break down and consume the stump The cuttings from Yews make a terrific mulch by the way Right now the branches are covering my unplanted raised garden beds When Im ready to plant theyll be shredded and moved to the compost pile Yew branches protecting the soil in my raised vegetable garden beds Tagged Home

94 Plan B 10 Launch your business online 4 How to make payments There are a number of different payment methods that can be used when you deal with us Three mostly used are TT payment in advance DP and LC 41 TT payment in advance 42 Letter of credit 43 DP document against payment 41 TT payment in advance TT means telegraphic transfer or simply wire transfer Its the simplest and easiest payment method to use TT payment in advance is usually used when the sample and small quantity shipments are transported by air The reason why is that the documents like air waybill commercial invoice and packing list will be sent to you along with the shipment by the same plane As soon as the shipment arrives you can clear the customs and pick up the goods with the documents As its acknowledged TT payment in advance presents risk to the importer if the supplier is not an honest one For us TT advance payment is required for some highvalue samples see our samples ordering policy and small quantity order shipped by air To the customers who have longstanding business relationships with us we send free samples and for the small quantity order document against payment is used It takes 34 days for us to received the wire transfer made from anywhere in the world 4 2 Letter of credit An irrevocable Letter of Credit is also an often used payment method It is often referred to an LC Letters of Credit are formal payment methods that offer a lot of protection to the parties Simply put a letter of credit is a letter written by the importers bank to the exporter It verifies that the payment will be guaranteed when the bank is presented with the concrete documents bill of lading and freight documents Most letters of credit are irrevocable once the importer has had them sent A letter of credit usually includes applicant you the importer beneficiary our IE agent opening bank negotiating bank specification and quantity of the goods amount of money loading port and destination port shipment date the validity date of the LC terms and conditions agreed by both the importer and seller and the documents required by the importers bill of lading commercial invoice packing list insurance certificate etc The LC payment procedure is usually as follows a You the importer applies to open the LC to us the seller through a bank who can open the LC in your country b The opening bank will inform The Bank of China that the LC has been opened c The Bank of China will inform us that the LC has been established d Well check all the terms and conditions listed in the LC If all terms and conditions are acceptable well arrange the shipment within the time specified in the LC e After the goods are loaded onto the ship without any damage the captain will issue the clean bill of lading to us f We will submit the clean bill of lading and other relevant documents to The Bank of China to gather the payment Only with clean bill of lading can you claim the ownership of the goods g The Bank of China will send the clean bill of lading and relevant documents to your bank the opening bank h The opening bank will inform you that all documents are received i You will go to the bank to make the payment to get the clean bill of lading and relevan documents j With all of these documents you can clear the import Customs and pick up the goods after the goods arrive on the destination sea port LC is used for the larger quantity order shipped by sea The typical LC scenario takes 1421 days to complete 43 DP document against payment The exporter we makes shipment and sends the shipping documents to the exporters bank the Bank of China for collection The Bank of China then sends the shipping documents along with a collection letter to the importers bank who then sends a collection notice to the importer The importer makes payment upon receiving the notice and only after payment does the importer receive the original shipping documents with which you take the physical possession of the goods The major advantage of the use of a cash against documents payment is the low cost versus using a letter of credit But this is offset by the risk that the importer will for some reason reject the documents or they will not be in order Since the cargo would already be loaded to generate the documents we have little recourse against the importer in cases of nonpayment So a payment against documents arrangement involves a high level of trust between the exporter and the importer To our customers who have longstanding relationships with us for larger quantity order

SAP Suite on HANA vs SAP S4HANA the differences explained 22 April 2016 Mark Chalfen Former SAP S4HANA Global Lead The majority of people I speak to are experiencing some levels of confusion between SAP Suite on HANA and SAP S4HANA I hope to provide some clarity for those of you wrestling with the differences between the two products It goes without saying that before making any decisions it is vital to understand their functionality and also the contrasts in the journey to each product Questions such as those below should easily be answered once you have this understanding Which product should I go to Can I go to Suite on HANA and then S4HANA If I have S4HANA Finance do I need a separate Suite on HANA system to manage my nonFinance processes What do I do with HR if I move to SAP S4HANA Enterprise Management As some of my peers and friends within Product Management at SAP would quite rightly point out SAP Suite on HANA and SAP S4HANA are two different and distinct products Here is how they are different SAP Suite on HANA SAP Suite on HANA came first As the name suggested the traditional SAP ECC solution is available on SAP HANA It has all of the traditional functionality of an ECC environment but the engine database is now a HANA engine Nearly all of the SAP transaction codes are available and there is no concept of data simplification Access to the HANA live studio gives an ability to create realtime reporting The solution also boasts amended transactions to utilise the HANA database and provide additional performance benefits The route to Suite on HANA is pretty simple to digest You need to upgrade to ECC6 Enhancement Package 7 and then perform a database migration from your current database to HANA This is generally a technical exercise and can be achieved without too much business involvement regression testing is a must SAP S4HANA SAP S4HANA is a new product It is based around the core ECC solution There are a number of differences however The data has been simplified This is achieved by replacing the core tables within certain processes into a single table New functionality has been released however some traditional functionality is no longer available due to the principle of one Embedded reporting has been released with over 3000 CDS views currently available SAP BW and SAP BPC can be embedded within the S4HANA environment It is worth noting that S4HANA will not replace BW or BPC but it enables certain scenarios to be performed within the new product not all however The route to S4HANA is achieved either by a system conversion from an ECC solution including Suite on HANA or a new install There is no upgrade path from ECC6 to S4HANA A system conversion needs to take place with the reason being to enable the new simplified data model You need to be conscious of what functionality you have lost from your existing system as part of the move to S4HANA in order to then replace it SAP S4HANA versions There are two versions of the onpremise S4HANA solution One is SAP S4HANA Finance which is Suite on HANA with a simplified Finance module and full ECC scope This product is still available and a new release is due soon SAP S4HANA Enterprise Management simplifies Materials Management and Operations as well as Finance This has a different base component as SAP_APPL has been replaced by S4CORE There are modules which were in ECC that have been replaced Each of these products are still evolving and therefore the solution may not provide all of the functionality you currently have in your ECC solution with certain Industry Solution functionality not available yet Modules such as Production Planning and Quality Management are in the roadmap to be simplified within S4HANA Enterprise Management The HR module will not be simplified within S4HANA although the functionality will still be available Comparisons of the versions I have pulled together a simple table that compares the following four solutions SAP ECC6 SAP Suite on HANA SAP S4HANA Finance SAP S4HANA Enterprise Management Summary I hope this has cleared some of the haze around the two products As you can see there are a few options available to you if you are considering moving from your current ECC6 environment Those customers that I am talking to are reviewing both Suite on HANA and S4HANA The decisions they are taking relate to their individual circumstances unfortunately there is not a simple formula for assessing which is the best option You may want to read Whats informing your decision between SAP S4HANA and SAP Business Suite to become more familiar with the considerations you need to be take into account when deciding between the two products Read next Comments Blog post currently doesnt have any comments About the author Mark Chalfen Former SAP S4HANA Global Lead Mark tells it straight as an exboxer what else would you expect Both his knowledge and experience of SAP products allow him to cut to the chase dispelling myths and hearsay As a result of working closely with various SAP Finance Product Management teams on product development Mark understands these products inside out This depth of understanding has led to him become a thought leader in his field after all it is not often SAP consultants have helped shape and develop the very product they are selling Having such a strong relationship with SAP alongside being an SAP Mentor and Moderator means that Mark has an extensive network within SAP For clients this relationship proves to be a huge advantage and leads to configuration issues being resolved rapidly Mark has worked on short proof of concepts through to yearlong multimillion pound global rollouts However no matter how large or small the project the true value Mark brings to his work is in the guidance he provides to senior stakeholders In essence he assists them to implement more effective processes and drive better behaviours within their finance teams Helping organisations transform their business with SAP S4HANA is Marks current focus The benefits of S4HANA are numerous including the simplification of tasks embedded analytics and improved user engagement Whilst the eventual move from SAP Business Suite into S4HANA is inevitable the journey to it is not always clear Marks ability to understand an organisations needs coupled with his deep understanding of S4HANA provides clarity and eases their transition Insights by this author Greater agility and efficiencies with SAP S4HANA Cloud Editions SAP Suite on HANA vs SAP S4HANA the differences explained How mature is SAP S4HANA Is it business ready Bluefin and SAP S4HANA welcome to the one horse race Discover more

Color or Color The Psychology of Color by Walter Graff Look at the title of this article Do you like the color of one word more than the other Looking at each by itself think of what word comes into your mind when you feel the color and what it means to you One color might subtly make you feel mad the other calm There are many ways that color affect how you feel and what you think Youve just touched on color psychology Every now and then I include a bit about color perception in my lectures My last lecture proved that folks really want to better understand the psychology of color So I am going to touch on it here so youll see that color has an incredible influence on your viewer and your story I dont take color for granted as I studied color psychology in school and use it all the time when selling products or in how I want someones message to come across on TV And heres a secret sometimes I can even subconsciously make you like or dislike a person more as a result In actuality you might only dislike THEM and never realize that it might be due to what I did that gave you an impression and not simply because of who they are Color has an incredible effect on your mood your perception and your likes and dislikes Its programmed into you and you really have little to say about it Your reptilian brain is the part of you that is programmed to survive Its what makes you instinctively know that fire is bad that red is danger and that green is comforting Humans developed over millions of years and color is a big part of our perception Its why orange is often used to make products that are high priced look more inviting because psychologically it makes them seem more affordable Its The other day I was in the chip isle of a supermarket and saw those blue colored corn tortilla chips There is something unappetizing about them but I cant tell you what My reptilian brain knows though BLue is not a predominant food color and hasnt been fomr millions of years A few things are Blueberries are blue but how about some blue mashed potatoes with blue meatloaf and blue gravy Think about blue mashed potatoes Does that sound like something you want to eat See what I mean Ever notice that appetite suppressant pills are normally blue It is Corporations spend millions of dollars testing colors on consumers every day Why Because they know color has a huge effect on how you perceive their products And color also has an effect on how you perceive people Hence color is invaluable to making pictures that get your message across Ever notice that luxury cars in commercials are dark gray or black The reason is because we know from studies that black and near black are associated with affluence so when you see the Lexus in the commercial they dont even have to use the word affluence in the script rather they simply have to show the car and they get you to think it is affluent Take a look at the photo below I took this picture above while staying in Century City CA Its the driveway of CAA Creative Artists Agency is the worlds leading entertainment and sports agency representing many of the most successful professionals working in film television music video games theatre fashion and the Internet and provides a range of strategic marketing and consulting services to corporate clients Notice anything about the cars Or should I say notice anything different about any of the cars People who work in a glamorous industry love to look affluent and the driveway reflects that I notice lots of black and gray and Youve heard the term A pictures worth a thousand words Well 99 of those words meaning is in the color of that picture and not the words Ill give you an example Say I am casting a part of rich villainous women Im thinking of a women who gets her way She is mean to her underlings and rules with a sharp mouth Here are the options 1 I am going to dress her in a blue suit for the part Its one of those old style suits women wore in the fifties If you dont get what I mean think the tubeish looking skirt with the tight fit matching jacket Its kind of like what I remember Louis Lane wearing in the old Superman TV series of the fifties 2 I am going to dress her in a red suit for the part Think of the same Louis Lane shape but in a blue tone So the options are a blue outfit or a red outfit Which color seems more like it would represent the mean nasty despicable disagreeable female role Most of you at first said red Why In color psychology red creates a feeling of aggravation Yes red clothing is uplifting and conveys power and energy but it also causes your mind to think of confrontation Blue on the other hand portrays solitude wisdom loyalty trust security and order so it doesnt fit the role of this woman everyone hates Some of you might have heard authority in what I described and as The point is that colors in your film or video from what colors folks wear to what colors you use on the walls have a tremendous effect on credibility likeability and how well you message is received Did you know that youll remember things you wrote down better when they were written in blue ink So how might blue work for you when shooting Say I wanted to giveoff the message of trust and reliability If I wanted to ease the American people about my stance on the country as a president and try to nonverbally say that you can Take a look at the two photos below Of course the photos above are not exactly the same but if I ask you which president you trust more minus any political views you might have odds are good youll pick the president in the blue tie In fact the president wears cloths and especially certain color cloths depending on the event Why Because the folks that dress him know how important color is So when its a tribute he has on primarily blue accents for strength and leadership When its a meeting with the EU where he wants to get his message across and demonstrate the power of Photo1 And when the president needs the countries support or wants to show strength but compassion youll see blue tones in how he dresses because blue is a color of stability and loyalty Fashion consultants often recommend wearing blue to job interviews because it symbolizes loyalty As I stated the color blue has a calming effect It actually causes the brain to release calming hormones Which feels better a cloudy day or a nice sunny day with a bright blue skyphoto 2 below Photo 2 In a situation where the president is going as an inbetween for instance to Israel for meetings with Palestine and Israel its brown he highlights so that he comes off as everyones friend because brown is a none threatening color see photo 3 Below Photo 3 You should get three distinct feelings from the three pictures above and the colors people wear would be one of the reasons you conclude what you do about how you feel Trust What happens when you put two world leaders together who want to express their leadership trust and compassion Both the British Prime Minister and the US President wear nearly the same tie in the photo above let alone the same color tie Oh and dont mind the same suit either Notice how it sort of makes it hard to differentiate the feeling you might have of one from the other as if the blue uniforms represent two people on the same team Strength and conviction Here is the US president trying to sell his strengths on energy solutions to the US public A blue tie would show he is not about being strong Red shows he is serious and a fighter Now look at the first photo above then look at the same person below Feel anything different Trust and empathy Here is something to try Go to Google pictures and type in the word OBAMA and notice how he wears ties representative of what feeling he is portraying at each event You will NOT find him in a red tie in an official portrait No he has sold himself as a healer to the country and healers show grays and blues Grey represents timeless practical and solid Blue represents trustworthy dependable and committed Look at all the photos in that Google search and notice how when his colors change your sense of what emotion he represents changes And Im just Why does color have such an influence It all started when we were less developed animals and we used color to survive That is still burned into our lower brain and while we like t go telling the world that humans are not animals much of what you do is still based on very rudimentary senses and brain activity We dont need color as much to survive today but it still has a great deal of effect on you When you look at a beautiful flower you see bright colors A bee sees ultraviolet light from that flower something we At a lecture once a participant told me of his newborn son and how he was having an issue He said that his son was crying much more recently and he wanted to know if there was anything he could do with color I asked him if the child had always cried like this and he said no The strange part was this was a newly developed issue I asked had anything changed He thought for a moment and then said yes he had just refinished his room I asked him what color was the room He said yellow I Many times colors can backfire on you Problem with color is that we know from studies that not only do people in different cultures prefer some colors over other but that genders have preferences too For instance Middle Eastern men are not fond of green yet it is a favorite color of western men French males in particular despise green Overall woman are not fans of the color orange This might be a reason why the home improvement chain called the Home Depot may be having trouble getting women in their store Lowes their competitor has a much higher percentage In fact if you are single and want a woman to be attracted to you wear blue It has an affect on her mind related to honesty and trust in a man And if a woman wants to submit to a man in his reptilian mind she will find that wearing black portrays that to the male A recent study of top three colors of males found Blue Green and Black to be best While the least favorite male colors are Brown and Purple Add more complexity preferences for the color green decrease with age in both males and females Here is an interesting color tidbit that goes back to my female character wearing red Woman will tend to unconsciously wear reds when they are ovulating according to research at the University of Rochester This could be good news for those trying to conceive and a warning for a kid out on the town looking to meet a girl It seems that overall in social settings women wear red in order to appear more attractive to men with the majority of cases taking place during ovulation Some scientists say it has something to do with a flushing of the face So how does all this fit in with you and what you do as a filmmaker Let me show you some examples and then give you some of the science on colors and leave you at that for now First Lets look at these two photos At first you might say the upper picture all blue is more pleasing but look again and you should start to realize that its like a head in a field of blue Id rather have some color contrast so Id probably what to use a warmer color for a backgrounds than a cool tone like her shirt What Im getting at is that there is more to lighting than setting up a few instruments to look good Color and how you use it from the background to what the talent wears is important In some cases you have no control over what your talent wears In that case you still have plenty of control over the background and how that appears so understanding how color contrast works and how color creates an emotional mood is useful I often use color to create subliminal moods in a scene And sometimes I just use color to help create a better look Lets look at two more examples Ask me which of the shots above I like more and Ill say it depends Its about what feeling I want to portray Both backgrounds work for me but the blue background makes her more trusting than the orange background which might be better if I want the information she says to be more believable How Its all about color And color has a very definable effect on us Its one of the reasons why most fast food colors are orange and red and why the color yellow makes babies cry We know through many scientific tests that red causes us to feel hungry and we know that yellow makes babies think they are in the sunlight so thy cry to tell their moms that they dont like it All colors have two effects on us In many ways colors have bipolar effects Red symbolizes passion love warmth power and excitement all positive traits But it also symbolizes aggression In studies red elevates blood pressure and respiratory rates It stimulates hunger as I mentioned We know that it also has the effect of stimulating people to make quick decisions and increase expectations Thats one of the reasons why its a favorite color scheme in casinos Its an attention grabber Words and objects in red get peoples attention immediately When it comes to cars there is a positive correlation between the color red and theft rate So as you can see there is so much more to red than it just being red Understanding more about how to use it in television and help you to create a mood or feeling sometimes subconsciously Oh yeah if you write words in blue ink odds are good youll more easily remember what you wrote In the previous pictures I talked about blue and the warm orange and how it might affect my audience Let me explain more First the bipolarness of blue Every color is bipolar meaning it has both a positive and a negative effect depending on how you use it On one end blue represents solitude sadness and depression On the other end wisdom trust and loyalty So wearing blue to job interviews could help you because it shows dedication and loyalty And it might be a good color for a talent to wear if you want his words to convey that feeling too The trust factor I mentioned in the earlier photos has to do with how blue relaxes our nervous system As I mentioned your brain actually releases calming hormones when you are exposed to blue It has a sobering effect on the mind and can cause people to be more contemplative So blue is for when you need your audience to feel good about what you are saying and you want them to feel like they can trust you Brown or what I see in that dark orange background in the earlier photo represents earth Earth tones are about reliability Its similar to blue but more about neutrality credibility solidity strength and maturity Where might I use brown as a background A perfect place is with a tape Im making showing sales people telling me why the company they work for is great I might use a brown cloth background for such Doing so creates a sense of solidarity amongst the speakers It makes what they say credible And I would use blue for a CEO that was telling If you are a school or other organization and would like to have Walter speak on lighting color or production please contact us Email Walter to discuss lectures
