I have chosen this shot because I really like the lighting in it. In this image the lighting is very dark as it is all natural lighting done by the sunset. From this image you can tell that the time of day is most likely to be early evening judging by the way the sun is setting. Behind the man who is the main concept in this shot the sun setting behind the trees. I think that this screenshot is very reflective in a way that he is standing and holding the camera it is as though he is about to take the photo however something catches his eye and therefore moves the camera away.
I think what is great in this shot is the dark colour palette with hints on light coming through the top. The man is blocking the majority of the light coming through the picture due to where he is standing that is why the focal length of this shot is on the man. Other than it just being on him there is also great emphasis on the camera and the way that he is holding it.
I think the part of this shot I would be interested in including in my FMP would be the lighting. The lighting is slightly different in this shot to a lot of films purely because it is a little hard to look at therefore there will be emphasis on the shadows that would be created with this shot.
Under The Skin
I have chosen this shot because like the one above the colouring of this is really unique. There is a light colour palette used with it being whites and grays. The woman is in the center of this shot and the only thing visible. We can't actually see if there is anything in the background because the fade effect has meant that it has been hidden.
The woman is obviously the focal length of this shot. This means that the shot emphasizes heavily on her features especially she facial features; nose, lips and chin. Everything in this shot gives off a very neutral colour apart from her pink jumper which even with the fading on it still stands out. While it has been faded quite considerably it is clear that the lighting is very bright because it looks as though it could be on a white background. I don't necessarily think that's the case and I believe that the background is most probably dark and grey with potentially mist and fog.
The part of this shot that I believe could be applied into my FMP is the side profile of the woman. I really think it gives it a completely different feel than what it would if she was stood full profile looking towards the camera. The reason I think that its probably the side profile is because the camera is focusing on her and then it would turn and focus on the subject she is looking at.
Surveillance
I have chosen this image based on the fact that the girl is the only one in this shot, which could be applied to my FMP. I like the fact that this shot is only the back of her and again aren't getting the face profile. I think I would like to include this sort of thing into my FMP.
The colour palette on this shot is the bottom end of the light palette and the top end of the medium one this is because I feel as though it overlaps the both of them. As it is too dark to be completely light and too light to be completely medium. In this shot the girl is central and holding onto something however we aren't quite able to see what it is. The girl is looking ahead and to the left because she is looking up at a car which is driving ahead in front. This scene is in a quiet location with only one car being scene I think this represents the fact that this is only what the girls sees. The girl looks to be standing on what seems to be either a field or a woods.
The focal length of this shot is the girl however I could also say that the car is the focal point because it is what the girl is staring at. The lighting in this gives the shot an overall feeling that it is pretty light. The sun is shining in the middle part of the shot. (between the young girl and the car) Although I do believe that the lighting may have something to do with the perception to make from the shot. This is because she sees the middle as light yet the car and herself are both dark therefore suggesting that there is some trouble.
Death Proof
The colour palette of this shot is dark this is because of the situation, I doubt that the entire film has a colour palette of just black although this scene is. In this shot the girl in the center and to the right. It is a close up shot and you can see the fact that she has been crying, It is a close enough shot to see that her face is red.
The shot has the colour red theme running through it this is with her face and the background to the right of her all being red. Although the left side of her is blue and white I think that this suggests that she is in danger as she is leaning more towards the red side of the shot. The cinematographer has obviously looked into great detail to try and separate the red from the white and blue.
The focal part of this shot is the girl who has obviously seen something that has made her hysterical. I am able to see this through her facial expressions and because of how wide her eyes are. The lighting in this shot is overall very dark this most likely reflects how she is feeling in that particular moment - scared and worried.
I really like how close up this shot is I think that is my most favourite thing about this one. That would also be the one factor that would be applied to my FMP that is because my FMP is going to be a horror/thriller theme and I know where I could use a shot very similar to this.
Run Lola Run
The colour grading of this shot is medium and dark. This is because the background of the shot has more of the dark palette running through it while the front of the shot isn't that dark and therefore I think more medium.
The woman is in the center of this shot. The background isn't in focus but from just this shot I can't exactly see where she is. From this shot I could take a guess and say that it looks as though it could be an American underground station. I think this because of the colours being used and because it looks as though the background roof is made up of a lot of arches which would be used in a station.
The focal point of this shot is of the woman running away from whatever is following her. I can tel that she is in the middle of running due to the way that her mouth is slightly opened and formed. In this the lighting is lit differently because the woman herself is very bright so much so that you can see all of her features however the background is very dark.
This type of shot would be applied into my FMP because I will have a lot of running shots due to being followed. I can take inspiration from the way this shot is laid out and can apply it to my own work.
