When I started looking at pictures for this blog, it was difficult to decipher between contrast, color, and size. As I researched more on Mise En Scene, I realized that contrast can have to do with color or size and that all these elements intertwine. For example, my contrast picture of La La Land has to do with contrasting colors. Also, any still having to do with size will be a form of contrast because the sizes are different. When creating my own stills I had to make smart decisions to really make things stand out. For example, for my still representing color, I originally placed just the colorful unicorn in the picture. Even though this made the figure stand out amongst the background of the picture, I wanted to show the unicorn standing out amongst other figures. So, I went and found two white stuff animals so that there's no question where a viewer's eyes will go to first. With my frontality picture, it was difficult to pick how much depth was in the picture. I wanted the figure's whole body to be seen, but also did not want the figure to be super small. In order to make both of these work, I had to try a few different angles, but eventually found the one that matched the image of the still I originally created in my head. My overall experience with this blog went well. Doing part one before creating my own stills helped tremendously because I was able to see professional examples.
