Cinematography

This is a master shot from a fence, it doesn't focus on anything in particular and i would say is effective at making the viewer question why the shot is at a building site. Could there be a murder? or is it just an opening scene of a show like bob the builder. This shot could be used as an opening shot to a new scene like if we are going back to see what "Gary" builder is going to do next.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            
  This image here is a tilted angle of troubled teen being accused of a crime he didn't commit. It is effective due to the clutter on screen representing the chaos going on which could be an indication of why "John" here was wrongfully accused. I believe this scene could be used for a victim because of the gesture used by "John's" hands in an attempt to prove his innocence. 











This image here is a closeup of a pen in the foreground and could be used in an office. This image is very effective as there is darkness on one side and a bright light in the other which could possibly be used to refer to the tension in the room or the different emotions. This image could be used in a scene of the office "school version" and therefore could represent the depression as well as the happiness of students across St Peters.

Opening Sequences and Representations

Character Representations in The Flash Costumes: The costumes of these characters are quite out of the ordinary and as one of them has electricity arcs beaming around him it is safe to say that they probably have superpowers, which they do. Also the lack of normal eyeballs and dark colors on the bloke on the right suggest he is evil.   The husk in front of these two guys shows that they are law enforcement which the glasses being held by the man on the right emphasise along with the note book. Also the clothing that these guys are wearing is quite formal which makes them look as if they work for the police. This image is of the reverse flash, the red glow in his eyes are quite a good indication that the man is evil and also his costume doesn't seem to be of a "bad guy" colour however his background and the way that his appearance is hidden suggests that he is evil.  Hair/Make Up: The hair on this man shows that he is not an "ordinary guy...

baby driver vid 1.Positioning The positioning of the 3 red cars is excellent as one of the cars is the one with "good guys". It manages to put us in the polices' point of view and represents the confusion that they are probably feeling while we are feeling happy for our main characters. There is not much verisimilitude in this scene as the likelihood of this occurring is very slim also there would probably be pursuers on the ground able to confirm which car is which.  2.Lighting The lighting is great in this scene as the darkness they are heading into could be a metaphor to the mystery ahead especially for the police and for what could be to come in the rest of the movie, however i wouldn't know because I haven't watched the whole movie. The scene does create a sub genre of crime however i think in this we are supposed to like the "bad guys" as well as showing the "baby" driver's initiative. 3.Acting This still shows one of...

Stranger things: How Dustin is represented through the types cinematography… This scene here focuses primarily on Dustin’s face, emphasizing his emotions with his smile using a close up shot, you can see that he wants to please Nancy with the last slice. This represents Dustin as a caring character which is also shown later in the series. During this scene, before the abduction of Will, the shot is quite wide and the surroundings are dark. This is after Dustin is left by Will representing Dustin’s feeling of abandonment as he says “oh come on!” as he runs out of stamina.  In this scene Dustin and the bully are in a close us while the background remains out of focus which prompts us to look at their faces. From this, you can clearly tell that Dustin is distressed showing that he isn’t a “tough guy” but also shows his big heart again as he pleads for Mike not to jump even though he is convinced his teeth will be cut out.
