Isolation ideas

Here are some of the shots that have influenced my project and what i am trying to achieve through this project.

‘The Road’

Having looked at my previous posts, the shots at night in which the two characters are settling down for the night are good examples of how to use three point lighting, the composition of these shots are also interesting as they are mostly either mid shots or close ups while also trying to convey a sense of isolation.  This will be a key idea for some of the shots I will try to create for my project.

This is another interesting shot from ‘The Road’, using vast backgrounds and making the two characters seem small and fragile in comparison, this is a key theme I’ve noticed throughout the three films I’ve earmarked as inspiration for my project and will play a key part in shots that i choose to shoot.  The use of practical light within this shot and unsaturated colours give the shot a cold and lonely feel, this is a key trait from Javier Aguirresarobe used when filming ‘The Road’ and I feel works really well with the tone he’s trying to achieve.
