Lighting: still images analysis

                                                               

1)The image above is an example of low key lighting, the back light is behind the figure within the frame illuminating one side of the figures face creating a sense of mystery, the back lighting also makes the smoke from the cigarette more defined and significant, putting more emphases on the noir qualities of the image.

2) The image depicts back lighting very well.    
3) The effects create a sense of mystery and noir, along with feelings of loss and hiding.

1) The still image above uses low key lighting on the figure within the frame
2) The image uses primarily top lighting making her facial features predominant and contouring her face
3) The lighting creates a significant feeling of fear within the frame, the top light defines the contours of the actresses face giving her a glamorous look 

1) This image uses aspects of both low key and high key forms of lighting, while the setting does appear to be well lit up, an aspect of high key lighting, there is also a contrast of light and shadow on the mans face, this is an aspect of low key lighting.
2) I would say that in the frame there is top lighting to create shadows on the figures face, and there is also key lighting illuminating the setting. 
3) The use of lighting gives the viewer the feeling that the figure is evil and powerful due to the way the shadows are created on the figures face, a long with this, the bright setting gives the shadows on his face even more contrast.

  
1) Low key lighting is primarily used in the image above, you can tell due to the obvious attempt at creating a contrast with the shadows. 
2) The key light is coming from the top (top light). Due to the use of the top light, it creates an effect of glamour in the image. The use of the top light also helps create a much more intense feeling of action.
3) The lighting in this frame gives the viewer the feeling that the movie will be very action oriented. This mainly due to the gun in the image being highlighted by the lighting, it stands out significantly in the frame.

1) In this image low key lighting is used to make a clear contrast between light and shadows. This is done to create a horror effect.
2)this image used back key lighting to create and effect of horror and fear. There are filler lights used but not many.
3) The usage of the top and back lights in the image above has a specific reasons, the top light is used to make the actor in the above frame to seem more glamorous in the shot, but the back light is used to make a shadow on the actors left. This was specifically used to make sure that the viewers understand that this is a scary situation.

1) The image above uses low key lighting to make a clear contrast between the light and the shadows.
2)The image only uses back lighting in the image above, this is used to make significant shadows 
3)The image above has used these lighting techniques to create a signifying feeling of mystery as to who those people are. The use of shadows is also quite

Editing Task

Image
This is the opening scene is from the movie Apocalypse Now. This scene shows how to artfully use dissolve cuts to make an elegant scene. The scene first starts a  fade  into a seemingly peaceful scene of trees. Slowly the music begins to kick in with the sound of helicopter blades (a helicopter flies in front of the shot to further solidify this assumption) in the background and a green mist growing within the shot. The scenery then begins to change suddenly and begins to fill with explosions, this shows audiences the true chaos of war and how destructive it can be. The camera then begins to slowly  pan  to the right as the smog and smoke begins to thicken, this increase in smoke helps create a very effective  transition  for a  dissolved transition  of a man, presumably apart of the war that is commencing, having flashbacks of what he had seen during battle. After this first  dissolve cut , most of the scenes that follow are  dissolve cuts  that are layered on top of each other, t

Film & TV Language: Mise-en-scene star persona

Image
This transformation was inspired by Demons in movies, tv shows, and even video games. I wanted to go for a horror theme with the editing and the sound effects used in the first scene. For the makeup in the task, I used my sisters help to create large black holes around my eyes. This was done to make my face seem unusual than how it usually is, this was done due to a scientific study that has shown that beings that look like humans but don't share the same traits (e.g normal eyes, face, etc) create fear more easily. The horns are DIY create with paper mache, I chose to create the horns since its a typical attribution of demons to have, but I've chosen to attach them in a different way (Resembling some of the figures above). I chose to use glitchy editing techniques as it used commonly in horror movies

Moonlight Review

Moonlight follows the life story of a homosexual African-American man named Chiron in a rough drug-ridden Miami. The movie follows the narrative in three separate sections, each showing different stages of Chiron's life and the problems he faced with his sexuality. In the first stage of the movie, Chiron is portrayed to be a quiet boy that speaks very few words, this alone already gives the audience an understanding as to how little affection he had received in his childhood, being ignored by his mother and not knowing his father leaves a toll on him as a child which is again portrayed by how he speaks very little, even when he is shown love and affection by Juan and Teresa, but this lack of a father figure opens way to and important character Juan, a local drug dealer, Juan, and Teresa were the only people that cared for Chiron, this effection goes a long way as Teresa then becomes a parental figure for Chiron as his real mother is constantly on drugs. It is also at this age tha
