LR for HT1

 Mis-en-Scene Lighting - Within the fight we can see two different smoke colours emanating light within the dark room. There is the orange/Red smoke Focused more close towards Vader. And a blue Smoke focused more towards Luke. This highlights a difference in moral good with the two Obviously Blue being a light of good and justice. And Red being corruption and evil. Costume - As Seen the two have very different costumes matching their alignment of morality. With Vader he wears and all black suit and a mask that almost resembles a samurai helmet meant to obviously represent his skill in using a lightsaber. However this dark attire obviously meant to show his acceptant of unfortunate side of morality confiding himself within the shadows.

  3 Camera Shots This example of close up shot shows us the  urgency of the situation by allowing us to get a more close up and detailed view on her expressions. This example of a two medium shot allows to show a good amount of both the characters and the background to give us a good debrief on what we need to need to imagine of this situation. The following shot, prop shot helps to show the audience what kind of technology and items people use even helping us understand that this is a Sci-fi series. Angle shot This gods eye view TRULY perfect example of what genre we are focusing on (Sci-Fi).This POV of seeing the whole planet gives us a view way beyond a "birds eye view" leaving us with only one other option as gods eye view. this angle gives us a view beyond our comprehension/naked eye as nobody could just go ahead and look at the earth from that far. Mise-En-Scene The doctor in this scene is wearing a suit as his costume and the way this reflects well is through what he...

Stranger things Mise-en-scene

Image
  Costume The costume of this character shows the potential things that will appear in the show would need to be research to high levels of science connoting towards the title stranger things that these "things" are necessary to be researched. Lighting The consistency of it being dark brings  an ominous feeling towards it all with us being shown almost little to none of the area making whatever that could be in the dark well hidden and kept away from us as a secret. Props The kids on their bikes reveals to us that this is clearly yet to be a modern era and that their best bet on getting place to place will be through those bikes.

The bird

Image
The colours I used for the image represent the winter vibes and the dusk colours. The night sky with the slight sun shining give a beautiful contrast helping build the colours on the parrot. The dark blue shows how the sun pierces through the night sky giving colour and a good effect for the wings. Then finally the light of the sun used as the skin of the bird.

Connotations of an advert

Image
  With this oasis ad they're trying to show to the readers how much oasis can freshen up your day making everything bland if you don't have an oasis. This unconventionally traps their target audience of young people and or people who typically enjoy sweet drinks into making them to buy this if they are having a slow day. And the strong colour of red shows to us the brightening amount of colour they can bring to such dull day all within a drink. They even show how such simplicity with the one bottle and colour red with a few words can be so effective all because of what this drink can do for you.
