Lots of stills from the films have blend of high-key and low-key lighting which offers a nice contrast. I will aim to use this effect in my production to achieve variation in lighting to emphasise certain elements of my image.]]> 2018-03-11 09:59:43 UTC https://padlet.com/stu_smith182/27ywh5bink0q/wish/240540748 stu_smith182 https://padlet.com/stu_smith182/27ywh5bink0q/wish/240541243 Blade Runner has many beautiful shots of cities showing all the lights and darks of a cityscape at night, like in the shot below from the film. This type of composition is common in sci-fi films, and is a trope I will aim to adopt in my VFX composite. ]]> 2018-03-11 10:05:21 UTC https://padlet.com/stu_smith182/27ywh5bink0q/wish/240541243 stu_smith182 https://padlet.com/stu_smith182/27ywh5bink0q/wish/240544117 The alternate world created for this movie is based on a large city that incorporates other elements to make it a dystopian sci-fi atmosphere, such as moving holograms. The built-up city atmosphere is something I will aim to replicate in my final production.]]> 2018-03-11 10:32:11 UTC https://padlet.com/stu_smith182/27ywh5bink0q/wish/240544117 stu_smith182 https://padlet.com/stu_smith182/27ywh5bink0q/wish/240665986 I am inspired by the way Doctor Who has multiple planets in the sky in this episode. The illusion that there is a considerable distance between each planet and that some are further away from others gives a nice depth of field and add an interesting dystopian dynamic to my shot. ]]> 2018-03-12 01:20:05 UTC https://padlet.com/stu_smith182/27ywh5bink0q/wish/240665986 stu_smith182 https://padlet.com/stu_smith182/27ywh5bink0q/wish/240667697 I like the way this shot uses an emphasis on blues and neon colours. I adopt this in my composite through the form of a sign and perhaps in the colour tone of my image. ]]> 2018-03-12 01:30:18 UTC https://padlet.com/stu_smith182/27ywh5bink0q/wish/240667697 stu_smith182 https://padlet.com/stu_smith182/27ywh5bink0q/wish/240670325 I am intrigued by the way this TV show uses the light from the skyscrapers and other city buildings to create ambience. I will ensure I select a base image where the lights are shining from the buildings to give me a visually interesting base layer to build upon.]]> 2018-03-12 01:46:10 UTC https://padlet.com/stu_smith182/27ywh5bink0q/wish/240670325 stu_smith182 https://padlet.com/stu_smith182/27ywh5bink0q/wish/240672493 I like the use of blues in this image, I will try to incorporate the use of blues into my composition because, as you can see, it is a common colour in the sci-fi genre and is therefore appropriate to the brief.]]> 2018-03-12 02:01:49 UTC https://padlet.com/stu_smith182/27ywh5bink0q/wish/240672493 stu_smith182 https://padlet.com/stu_smith182/27ywh5bink0q/wish/240672707 The flying space craft on the top left of the image is very typical of the sci-fi genre, so may be something that I could try and incorporate into my VFX composite to further relate to the sci-fi style I'm aiming for. ]]> 2018-03-12 02:03:25 UTC https://padlet.com/stu_smith182/27ywh5bink0q/wish/240672707 stu_smith182 https://padlet.com/stu_smith182/27ywh5bink0q/wish/240674548 I like the way that blue is a primary tone used for the image as a whole, however, many other contrasting colours are included within the shot such as greens, reds and yellows to add variety and effect. This has inspired me to possibly mix in multiple colours to create my alternate Sci-fi world to add variety and effect. ]]> 2018-03-12 02:18:27 UTC https://padlet.com/stu_smith182/27ywh5bink0q/wish/240674548 stu_smith182 https://padlet.com/stu_smith182/27ywh5bink0q/wish/240675176 This image is similar to the product I am going to create as it incorporates a wall, a cityscape and multiple other buildings in the foreground. ]]> 2018-03-12 02:24:22 UTC https://padlet.com/stu_smith182/27ywh5bink0q/wish/240675176 stu_smith182 https://padlet.com/stu_smith182/27ywh5bink0q/wish/240675729 The layering and symmetry of the images from this film inspire me to aim for finding a base image that has a vanishing point in the centre. This way, my image will appear to have a sense of symmetry and alignment to it. ]]> 2018-03-12 02:28:51 UTC https://padlet.com/stu_smith182/27ywh5bink0q/wish/240675729 stu_smith182 https://padlet.com/stu_smith182/27ywh5bink0q/wish/240676493 Similarly to The Fifth Element, This movie uses a similar city atmosphere with futuristic elements such as cars on high monorails and floating. Futuristic elements are conventional of modern sci-fi media which indicates that if I can find a way to work this into my project, would be very interesting. ]]> 2018-03-12 02:35:52 UTC https://padlet.com/stu_smith182/27ywh5bink0q/wish/240676493 stu_smith182 https://padlet.com/stu_smith182/27ywh5bink0q/wish/240677464 I selected this photo form Google images because it features close to the exact colour palette I'm thinking of using for my final VFX composite. The yellows and oranges of the road and skyscraper lights, blend with the blue and grey of the sky, make the image seem warm and cold at the same time. This offers a nice juxtaposing effect.]]> 2018-03-12 02:43:54 UTC https://padlet.com/stu_smith182/27ywh5bink0q/wish/240677464 stu_smith182 https://padlet.com/stu_smith182/27ywh5bink0q/wish/240678316 I like the warmth of the oranges and beiges in the colour palette of this film, I will experiment with warmer and colder colours such as orange and blue to see what kind of effect is created by each colour, as well as finding out which one I find more aesthetically pleasing and appropriate to my project. ]]> 2018-03-12 02:51:15 UTC https://padlet.com/stu_smith182/27ywh5bink0q/wish/240678316 stu_smith182 https://padlet.com/stu_smith182/27ywh5bink0q/wish/240678953 I am inspired by the sense of perspective in this shot because you can see the orange-lit bridge in the background, but the foreground is occupied by a man, wearing similar dress codes to the character given to us for this project, emerging from a puff of white smoke. ]]> 2018-03-12 02:57:23 UTC https://padlet.com/stu_smith182/27ywh5bink0q/wish/240678953
