Lighting: still image analysis'



The lighting is low-key we can see is a light and dark affect on half of her face.. Top lighting has been used to make the actor look more glamorous because it defines her facial structure more. The smoke and the darkness gives the impression that this is a crime film and that this character might be solving something or stressing.



The lighting is low-key shows her face but everything around her is in complete darkness. Top lighting is used in this shot to make the actors facial features appear more in depth and makes her look more glamorous. The darkness of the background creates mystery.



High-key lighting is being used as theres no shadows so the still appears more serious. Under lighting has been used to create a shadow under his eyes making him look aggressive. We know this because part of his face appears to be darker.


 Low-key lighting has been used to make shadows and to show the contrast between dark and light. Top lighting has been used so we can identify the characters facial expressions. the lighting is reflecting off the gun in his right hand which  is an enigma code for why hes holding it.



Low-key lighting is deliberately used as we can see the contrast between light and dark. Top lighting has also been applied to make the actor appear seem more glamorous and to bring out her features. her facial expressions and body language demonstrates fear and horror.



Low-key lighting has been used as shadows are populating this scence. Top lighting has been used to focus on the two people making out and to make the females features look more pronounced and look attractive. The light through the curtains gives a feeling of a natural surrounding and set.



Low key lighting has been applied to this shot as we can see strong shadows  which have been created. Back lighting has been used to create outlines which creates fear and mystery and suspense. this is so you question who these people are as their identities are hidden and what theyre doing.



Low key lighting has deliberately been used as there are really dark shadows on the left side. Under lighting has been used to give an scared and fearful look to the darkened area of her face. The lighting has been positioned at the direction so her facial expressions are still visible and will show the emotions of what shes feeling.



 High key lighting has been used to make this shot look as if theres natural light is shinning down. Top lighting have been used so that the models facial expressions and features are shown in definition. 


Low key lighting has been placed in this shot to create darkness to focus on one thing. Back lighting has also been placed to create a forced shadow and silhouette. These are all expected conventions of a horror. all of this fits the criteria of a horror film as it creates a sense of fear and mystery.



High key lighting has been used so the lighting looks as if its focused on the couple. Top lighting has also been used to accentuate the characters facial features and expressions of both of them but mainly the man as hes mostly in the shot. The shadows created suggest mystery and bring a sense of darkness because theres a gradient of white and black showing a lack of pureity.

TV: Postmodernism and Deutschland 83

1) Read the section on Strinati's five ways to define postmodernity. What examples are provided of the breakdown of the distinction between culture and society (media-isation)? The characters Bruno and Borat would be more known than the actor who portrays the character. The characters seem more real to the audience than the actors i.e. Sacha Baron Cohen as Borat.  The media reality is more real than the object itself. The example given is advertising. A poor quality product could sell well if it had a good marketing technique but a good quality product can fail with a poor marketing strategy. 2) What is Fredric Jameson's idea of 'historical deafness'? How can the idea of 'historical deafness' be applied to Deutschland 83? As modernisation increases the historical context of the culture is lost. In Deutschland '83 modern music was a draft from the old culture of music in the 60s to 80s. The show uses classic songs from the 80s ...

Plan Kumar Family Rodger's Family Polish builders Old woman's house Traffic Warden  The show Capital is a show about a street that has begun to receive postcards from a mysterious sender, which say 'we want what you have',  the statement of whether Capital is a family drama rather than a crime drama is a very mixed opinion.  A definition of a crime Drama is a TV programme that focuses on a crime that is committed and is being researched to be solved. As for any genre, the crime drama features conventions such as Police tapes, Detectives, Victims and more. While Capital does focus on the crime of the postcards the show is much more focused on the aspects of all these people that live on Pepys Road and the whole aspect f the Postcards are dismissed as a marketing campaign as well as is put in the background of the first episode, while the family lives are focused on. A family drama is a show that is about the aspect of family and their conflicts and ...
