\Favourite: Ex_Machina
In this scene the main character is questioning his own humanity after coming face to face with artificial intelligence that both acts and behaves like humans. The reason I like this still so much is the bizarre nature of how he acts and the way he is a;most pulling apart his own face to see what is truly is (it really reflects how the character is feeling in the situation). The light blue lights shined on the character add this 'cyber' feeling to the scene, these add to the conflicting opinions of the protagonist.
Least Favourite: Lucy
The following is from one of the final scene of Lucy where she is travelling through time and space. Their are multiple reasons I do not like this particular still and they stem from the lighting and quality. For one the lighting is a not softer on the city than it is Lucy, also the same can be said with the title character herself when it comes to the quality both images have been shot. The fact that she seems to be shot in a much higher quality than the background making it seem like an obvious use and green screen that breaks audience immersion.
I feel I can use these stills in order to make my work look more cinematic and they show the importance of correct lighting and constant quality ensureance both in taking the photos and in post production.
