Reverie and the DSLR Revolution


In the film Reverie low key light is used throughout the film which causes a dark and mysterious feeling to the audience. In this shot, the lights are not focused all the way which causes the viewers to pay attention to the light that is in this scene. The light stands out in this scene because everything else is dark and does not have any emphasis.


In this next shot the water is dark and all the buildings are lit up. This shot draws attention to all the buildings and is a very nice shot. The lights from the building are reflected onto the water.




In this shot of the woman, there is not much light except in the corner of the frame. This distinguishes the difference between the foreground, midground, and background. The silhouette of the girl gives off a mysterious feeling to the audience; the shot pans up and then more light is revealed into the shot. I like this shot because the light in this shot gradually fades the further left you look at the frame.

In this shot the rack focus is of the man's feet and rest of his body. I like this shot because his feet are not in focus but the rest of the shot is and it draws attention to his face and not just his body as a whole.

The DSLR Revolution



In the Job Security film, it shows another side of the trunk that the key the girl found goes to.




In this shot, it has to T.Vs of which the security officers can see. The one to the right is of the trunk that was introduced in the previous film, The Cabbie. This shot is important because it introduces the characters, the officers, as well as the problem they are going to come across later on in the film.





In this shot the characters are introduced, which are the 2 security officers. Just by their appearances you can get a sense of what kind of person they are. The bigger one is lazy which is shown later on in the film when he is just listening to his iPod not paying attention to what is happening at the site. The skinny officer is the one who is taking precausions and wanting to see what is happening to the trunk.


In this shot, there is a sense of relief because the officer was in the back of the trunk and his partner was killed by the man driving the trunk. But there is a sense of suspense because he wants the taxi driver to follow the man to see what is in the trunk.
