Analysis of Screenshots

This shot is a close up of Lucy’s face. We cannot see a lot in the background, however we can suggest from the look on her face that she is being held captive. Her facial expression suggests she is planning a mischievous escape. The framing and limits the amount we can see in her surroundings furthermore this creates a sense of mystery as to what’s going on around her. The composition is of Lucy centered in the middle of the shot. The camera angle shows us a mid-shot of her face which is the main focus in the picture.

This shot is also a close up of Lucy’s face. We cannot get a clear idea of what is in the background. This makes the composition mysterious and suspicious to the audience. Her facial expression is focused yet scared at the same time. She is holding a gun which suggests there is danger ahead. The framing is centered slightly to the left hand side of the image but Lucy is still the potent figure. The camera angle shows us a mid-shot again of her face to show the audience what she is feeling at this time.

This shot is a mid shot of Lucy sat in the passenger seat of a car. We know this as we can see the seat belt in the background down the left hand side. The framing in the shot focuses on the extraordinary visions she is seeing. The lines overlap her face which represents how she has to mask her new secret visions from the rest of the world. The composition does not tell us much as we cannot see much in the background of the image. The camera angle shows us a limited description of what she is seeing therefore, we cannot tell what is going to happen next.

 

This shot is also a mid shot which reveals much of Lucy and the reality around her. From this image we can see New York and Lucy, who is centered in the image. The framing highlights Lucy and the sense of mystery in the other images is gone in this image. Lucy has no facial expression which may confuse the audience however the camera angle is placed in a range so we can see all that is happening around her. The composition is of a busy New York day that seems to be shifting through time.

The final image of an extreme close up of Lucy’s eyes. This provides the audience with an insight as to what Lucy is experiencing during her transformation. There is no composition in this image so we cannot tell where she is at this point. The framing is solely focused on her eyes and the drug transforming her vision. Her eyes do however look very determined which could suggest she is about to go on some sort of mission.
