Media blog 2 - Mr Halsey

 1)Mr Halsey WWW: Great choice of song and the scene selection for the parallel element is just perfect - exactly the shots/reactions from characters that you want. The switch to contrapuntal is excellent - it gets a clear audible reaction from the audience and the   extremely violent scene coupled with the pop song meets the brief perfectly 2) Type up your feedback from fellow students - WWW: Fits the tone perfectly First clip was parallel, contrapuntal video was perfect  3)Personal WWW: the contrapuntal video ended matching the beat of the song  EBI make sure video is sized to fit in the frame 4) L earner response:  Whose did you think was best and why?

The photo appears to be taken at night due to the lack of  back lighting making behind the woman look almost unrealistically dark.This photo depicts an example of low key lighting as the only apparent light source is from the key light itself added onto the fact that the shadows overtake majority of the subjects face although not as harsh due to it being soft lighting . the  chiaroscuro adds meaning to the photo and allows the focal point to be on the cigarette smoke which is picked up by the light.
