Image Analysis 2

This is a medium shot from the film Alien Vs Predator (2005). Straight away from the image the audience can extract that the film that this image is from is Sci-Fi by the aliens and unrealistic creatures/characters used. By the position of the characters we can tell that they are combating as one is holding the other by the neck and looks to be going for a swing with its other hand. The characters themselves look quiet frightening and there are very few colours used in this image. This image is an example of where low key lighting is being used as it creates contrast of light and dark and creates shadows known as the chiaroscuro effect, which is expected from this particular type of genre, Sci-Fi. The key light is directed from the back, which creates a silhouette effect around the character and almost creates a mood of anger yet feat.

 

This is a long shot of a person from the film The Exorcist. This image gives out a feeling of suspense/fear, which sets a mood for the audience as low key lighting is what is expected from the. The setting appears to be on a road where an unknown man looks to be entering a house; the man is holding a briefcase and appears to be wearing a long coat and a hat. The street light is acting like filler light, to soften shadows so that the audience is able to see the setting. The key light is the back light, which is coming from the window inside the house and is acting like a spotlight on the unknown character creating a strong silhouette. The position of this character is towards the house as if he is trying to look inside or about to walk in.
