Jungle Book Character Comparison

Image
 Mowgli 1967                                                                      2016 - A c lear difference between the 1967 version and the 2016 Mowgli is that one is a drawn animated and the other is a real life actor. Both have a similar body type and the actor used in the 2016 version is from India which is keeping in line that the film is set in the Indian jungle. Furthermore, he is seen as innocent looking in both however the 2016 Mowgli seems more competent in the Jungle. Baloo      1967                                            2016      - One difference is that Baloo in the 2016 is much larger and bulkier and is much more of a bear rather than the fun cuddly loo...

Best & Worst Images Analysis

Image
Best 3 photographs- This is one of my best photographs I captured around school it follows the rule of 3 and rule of odds where you can see the left wall, the girl and then the right wall. The shot is centre frame from a low angle where the floor takes up a third of the image. The person in the centre is almost a silhouette and you can’t see many features. The overall tone is dark but there is a break of daylight at the very background of the image which is very complimentary to the other features. This is another of my best photographs I captured around school. It’s a similar format as the first as in being in the same area. It follows the rule of thirds as the wall in the image takes up 2/3 of the image but a way to improve is that I could add something else in the image would create a rule of odds. T he model is posing against the wall that predominately takes up the entire image and the darkness of the wall contrasts the bright daylight. It’s a right frame mid shot....

Planning: Photo shoot: Photographs that may be useful

Image
- I took multiple pictures of the same shot and they all came out interesting in their own element.  - They are all close ups - Taken from a low angle to emphasise the shapes of the flame - Taken outside using natural daylight- potentially even the light provided by the fire - I liked the shots were the sunlight is peeking through the trees in a dappled effect- even creating some interesting shapes which I managed to capture - The trees are in the background with the wood fire in the foreground- highlighting the main piece of the photo - No clear rule of odds but rules of thirds can be seen as the fire takes up the bottom 1/3 of the image leaving the top 2/3 with the naturalistic scenery  - Good contrast between bold orange/red fire and the delicate green background scenery. - Close up of leaves in tree- with one specifically in focus - Taken from a low angle with the camera looking up to create an interesting perspective - Dark shadows clear on m...
