I choose this picture because I really like the lighter and darker shade contrast between the woman and the background, How the use of lighting makes you focus on her face and transmits a strong feeling to the audience. I also like how the background tries to make a smoky-like effect, also really iconic in the Film Noir style. ]]> 2020-08-19 19:14:21 UTC https://padlet.com/mfernandez155/Bookmarks/wish/688054994 ivo fideleff https://padlet.com/mfernandez155/Bookmarks/wish/688269964 Nora prentiss (1947, still 35, i couldn't download the image)
I chose this image because i love how the character's face is distorted through the window, i don't know if this has something to do with the movie or if it has another meaning, either way, i really like it.]]> 2020-08-19 21:05:29 UTC https://padlet.com/mfernandez155/Bookmarks/wish/688269964 The Killing (1956) https://padlet.com/mfernandez155/Bookmarks/wish/691296767 Bruno Rampoldi
I chose this photo because I really like this film shot with the light in the middle contrasting the character giving them a darker atmosphere.

I really like this photo because of the mirror effect it makes and how we can see a woman's face in the foreground and a man's body in the back.

(sorry that i couldn´t paste the image).

I love the silhouette of the woman in the dark and how one side of her face is brightly lit, while the other side is completely black. And not to mention the smoke in the photo, which I really like along with the little light that comes out of the local. I think that the high contrast and low key lighting makes a really interesting look in the photo.]]> 2020-08-22 16:51:56 UTC https://padlet.com/mfernandez155/Bookmarks/wish/692937744 Mailen Marcello https://padlet.com/mfernandez155/Bookmarks/wish/693122909 I chose the picture from the movie ¨Mildred Pierce¨(1954) because i like the range of black and white shades and how the background is visible, but not distracting for the eye. Another thing that caught my attention is that, without being able to see the faces of the actors, you can perfectly understand how their feeling.]]> 2020-08-23 01:09:59 UTC https://padlet.com/mfernandez155/Bookmarks/wish/693122909 Ren Sabatino https://padlet.com/mfernandez155/Bookmarks/wish/693137195 I love picture 6, from The Big Combo, because the lighting and the shadows are so gorgeously done that we get two well-defined silhouettes of the characters. The smoke adds a mysterious feeling and the man, who is closer to it, is kind of vanishing inside it, so we appreciate a hole story. I also think it’s a great example of film noir because of its high contrast and some mystery.]]> 2020-08-23 01:52:52 UTC https://padlet.com/mfernandez155/Bookmarks/wish/693137195 Catalina Salles Rucco glowinthetwilight https://padlet.com/mfernandez155/Bookmarks/wish/694069380 I chose the still from "the night of the hunter" (1955).
To me, this picture stood out a bit because of the different things that are going on in the photo. In reality it's just a man, whose features are hardly seen since there isn't very good lighting, who is coming down the stairs, but at the same time he has a really big shadow that covers half of the stairs railing, as if it disappeared, and the smoke that can be seen adds a sense of mystery to it.

Its almost like he IS the shadow, represented by the fact he's mostly covered in darkness, with the heavy light shining behind him. The hat also makes his character even more interesting, not only as a characteristic, but also growing his aura of mystery even more, obscuring his face. ]]> 2020-08-24 23:17:19 UTC https://padlet.com/mfernandez155/Bookmarks/wish/696135592 Catalina Schilling https://padlet.com/mfernandez155/Bookmarks/wish/696186483 I chose the still from "The unsuspected" (1947) because i love how the different shades of grey can remark so well the landscape.  I have not seen the movie, but this picture caught my eye because its seems like it is from a main scene.

You can tell the light is positioned above the actors and a bit to the front. I like the fact that the characters have one element (the shades and the hat) in their appearence that stands out the most and catches the attention of the viewer because of the contrast it makes with the lighter tones. I also like effect of the blurry background that makes the characters stand out.]]> 2020-08-25 15:41:11 UTC https://padlet.com/mfernandez155/Bookmarks/wish/697560491 Guadalupe Fernandez Curuchaga https://padlet.com/mfernandez155/Bookmarks/wish/698288992 I chose this picture because i think that the lighting in it and the colors are so pretty, and we can notice the difference between the darkest and the lighest shade in the photo.

The high contrast of black & white, vertical lines, the silhouettes and especially the long shadows give an interesting feeling of depth and darkness to the picture.

The beautiful shapes of the plants and the blinds morphing with the woman who is very much the protagonist of this scene thanks to the upper contrast of the shadows that helps for the background not to distract you from the subject are absolutely gorgeous, and yet quite simple. ]]> 2020-12-15 08:49:25 UTC https://padlet.com/mfernandez155/Bookmarks/wish/1019221080 Fermín Barga https://padlet.com/mfernandez155/Bookmarks/wish/1189214711 I chose this still because i think it´s really good how the protagonist is very well lit, and the other two characters are faded in the darker zone of the frame.]]> 2021-02-10 19:05:29 UTC https://padlet.com/mfernandez155/Bookmarks/wish/1189214711
