"Going Beyond the Still Image"-"Wrong Place, Wrong Time"

Based on the character's expression and apparently being trapped in a box, we can tell that this character is frustrated with the current situation.


By the way the men surround the hostage, the height difference, the wrist being gripped, and the hostage's stance, we can tell that these men are dangerous and have power over the hostage.


This is a climactic moment because this is where we find out why the man is in a box at the beginning. This event leads up to everything else happening that support the situation. This is the reason the film is called "Wrong Place, Wrong Time".

This resolution leaves a feeling of sadness and gloom because of the blue tint . The photo makes us sad because we witness a moment in the man's life that he cherished, and he wants to see it one last time before he dies.

Reverie and the DSLR Revolution

By using the strong lights in the background, there is a mysterious silhouette around the woman so that we are curious to find out what happens when the man gets there. The extreme fall-off is interesting because it makes the anticipation in the man more pronounced.


This shot is interesting because it focuses on the smoke instead of the buildings. It represents a night in the city. Also, the lighting supports the focus on the smoke with the headlights shining in it.


This is especially cool because of a partly lit-up night with a spotlight on her. The vastness of the background and the simplicity of the foreground represent the loneliness as she is waiting. Also, the red dress draws our attention to her.

"Solitude" Review

I like this shot at a neutral eye level because it represents the loneliness lost in time that the teenagers are feeling. This is shown by the depth of the shot supported by the narrow hallway. A wide shot with loose framing and so much empty, still space also shows the loneliness. My eyes first go to the guy because he's the only thing there representing some sort of life. Using the jump cut represents all of the empty time the teenagers are experiencing. The lighting is also eerie because of the dark green glow it sets off, which symbolizes that this will be a scary movie. The lighting is fairly low key, but there is contrast with the white and dark green, once again showing an eerie scene. The shot starts with an empty foreground far from the "action", and ends that way, but there is one simple thing in the background and then the midground.

This shot is cool because it shows tons of depth and loneliness. My eyes start at the foreground and follow the road all the way until I can't see it anymore. There are a lot of parallel lines moving in the same direction toward a big dark nothing. The dominant color is a deep yellow with a contrasting gray sky. There isn't a lot to look at, but it represents what the characters are feeling when they realize everyone is gone. The foreground is road, the midground is road, and the background is eerie mountains. The framing is very loose so that if anything happened we could see it all.


First my eyes go to the girl's face because of the rule-of-thirds. Lighting is very low key, and similar to hte lighting in the first shot, and the shining duct tape makes my eyes go there next. There isn't much contrast because the girl's skin has that same eerie glow on it. We are right up in the action, and we see what she sees with the same reaction. We are at eye level with the characters because we are supposed to be seeing what's behind her the way she is seeing it. The density is moderate because we have to places to look at in the frame that tell a lot about the story. The girl is in the foreground, there is an empty green midground, and then a taped up guy in the background. The framing is tight because we're supposed to see the girl's expression. There is some depth because the background holds crucial information to the viewer while the foreground shows the reaction.
