Shot From Minority Report



This is a long high angle shot showing John Anderton hiding in a cold bath tub from heat seeking spider robots. I found this shot really interesting. The first thing that pops out is the diagonally split color contrast from brown to blue. The blue helps create a colder bathtub. I think of arctic water. The harsh contrast helps portray the conflict between Anderton and the spider. The room is very sharp and angular. The bathtub and beam of light split the shot into smaller geometric shapes. This promotes further tension and stress.

The Underrated Movie of The Century


Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is a hilarious movie staring one of my favorite actors, Robert Downey Jr. and Val Kilmer. Jr., A petty thief posing as an actor, is brought to Los Angeles for an unlikely audition and finds himself in the middle of a murder investigation. Its Unusual, surprising and a refreshing change from other movies. It came out in 2005 and is still one of my favorites. If you haven't seen it yet, get on it.
